Imagine that instead of international business markets competing against each other, they’d exchange goods and services based on reciprocal triple-bottom-line benefits. We could redistribute value and expertise in a way that helps cities and communities to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals by drawing upon regenerative business practices.

‘Build a waste-free world’ is the focus of our second episode in the Earthshot Series. We use it as an entry point to explore the potential of International Impact Trade Regions, which is an initiative that Matt is developing alongside Argentinians Pedro Tarak (Co-Founder of Sistema B, and Wellbeing Economy Alliance Ambassador) and Rafael Kemelmajer (Director of Quinto Impacto). The trio organised a pilot International Impact Trade roundtable between Melbourne and Mendoza in October 2021 with over a dozen impact champions. In 2022, we’re now entering a new phase of collaboration and exploring how the Protected Denomination of Origin systems commonly used in food and wine can be adapted to impact trade.

Listen to Matt and Pedro unpack the terrain!
