✅ Women entrepreneurs in North Macedonia are embracing #circulareconomy and increasingly implementing #renewableenergy and #energyefficiency measures in their businesses. 🆗 As part of the project „Climate Promise -from pledge to impact “, UNDP in partnership with the National Platform for Women Entrepreneurship - NPWE and the Chamber of Commerce, held a series of trainings on green energy and sustainable production in seven cities in the country, which were attended by more than 320 women entrepreneurs. 🆙 From a textile business in Tetovo which produces hats from leftover textiles, to a pastry and cake shop in Kavadarci looking to switch to RE&EE measures and compost leftover eggshells into fertilizer, the circular economy is also a challenge worth pursuing for the big companies as well, like Amphenol Technology Macedonia , which uses two photovoltaic plants with over 1828 solar panels for its energy needs. #circulareconomy #EnergyEfficiency #RenewableEnergy #SDG7 #SDG13 ℹ Read up the story about these women entrepreneurs 👇

Sustainability is a multi-faceted concept that encompasses economic, environmental, and social elements. At Millet Magic Foundation, we believe that rural women can play a crucial role in achieving sustainability across all these verticals. By recognizing their value in the sustainable value chain, rural women can generate innovative business ideas that are environmentally friendly, socially driven, and economically uplifting. This can not only augment their family's income but also empower them to achieve their dreams and bring about a positive change in their lifestyle.

Sustainability and Women-Led Businesses: The environmental and social impact of women-led businesses and the importance of sustainable practices. Sustainable development goals have become an imperative aspiration for a nation. To realize these goals of sustainability, women-led businesses have played a significant role in achieving this feat. Let’s look at some instances to understand the importance and impact of these businesses in our society and environment. Environmental Stewardship: Studies have shown that women entrepreneurs are more focus-driven when it comes to social and environmental issues than their male counterparts. They emphasize more the social goal than the economic goal and are more engaged in ecological venturing. Engagement in the Green Future: It has been found that the women workforce is higher in the renewable energy sector than in the fossil fuel sector, particularly at 32% compared to 22%. UNIDO research suggests that women entrepreneurs are more inclined to set up their businesses in green industries than in conventional ones. Ecological & Sustainable Practices Research shows that women-led startups are more likely to develop products and services that address social and environmental issues. They prioritize ethical supply chains, which means ensuring fair labor practices, supporting local artisans, and promoting transparency in sourcing materials, all of which contribute to social responsibility and sustainable business practices. It has become more than important to put emphasis on sustainable practices in the corporate world, as their actions have a major influence on our lives and the environment. Those businesses that follow a sustainable business model gain a competitive advantage over those that disregard it. Thus, a pivotal shift in business practices should be prioritised at most. Do you believe that women-led businesses that focus on sustainability are given less recognition or financial aid? Do share your opinion on this. We would love to hear from you!!! #Sustainable #Women #Womenledbusinesses #Environment #Greefuture

Creating Impact needs just a small step.

At Paving , we believe a #sustainable future hinges not just on eco-friendly materials, but on #inclusivity and empowerment. That's why we're shining a spotlight on the vital, yet often unseen, role women play in #waste management, particularly in developing nations like India. Women are the silent engines driving waste management. From household segregation to informal recycling, they shoulder an immense responsibility, keeping communities clean and healthy. They are the grassroots warriors, battling environmental degradation with every scrap of #plastic they sort and every bottle they repurpose. - 70% of waste pickers in India are women, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. - 90% of street recycling pickers in Pune are women, reports Ocean Conservancy. - Women earn only half the wages of men in the waste management sector, despite playing crucial roles. Paving is committed to creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all. We recognize the importance of empowering women in waste management, and we're actively working to: - Upskill and equip: Provide training, tools, and safety gear to help women transition from informal to formal livelihoods. - Advocate for equality: Champion policies that address gender disparities and ensure women's voices are heard at all levels. - Support women entrepreneurs: Foster innovation by providing financial and technical assistance to female-led waste management ventures. Join us in paving the way for a future where women are not just part of the solution, but leaders in shaping a greener, more equitable world.
