When we founded the community in March 2019, we didn't know exactly how far it would go, but when the pandemic arrived in mid-April 2020, the expectation was that we would not be able to go much further. However, the numbers show a very different reality. In a year which the protagonism, collaboration and adaptability to change spoke louder, Design at Business delivered great results that will now be shared with you.
The generosity of those who contributed to the community and the willingness to learn from all members who joined us were essential to keep this community alive.
This is for you, for your company, and for our country. We hope to contribute even more in 2021.

Single-Use Plastic
We know that single-use plastic is harmful to the environment, but what can we do about it? This team seeks to raise people's awareness and map small actions that make all the difference. Large companies have already engaged in this cause. Now we need to ensure that employees working from home understand how to contribute and motivate family and friends to join us.
Life Design
There are several training and mentoring programs provided by large companies for young black people, but many are unable to
commit enough to seize the opportunity. One of the main reasons is that they don’t see a
better life coming out of it. This team is working to adapt the methodology from the book Design Your Life to help them envisioning the future, overcome the challenges keep engaged.
Supplier Monitoring
Large companies are monitoring suppliers according to socioenvironmental criteria, will it be possible to join forces and reduce operating costs from a collaborative monitoring platform? This team is studying
this hypothesis. If proven, they will start designing and testing the solution.
