Show Notes

My guest his week is Micaela Rizo Patrón, who is general manager of Perú Sostenible, a network of over 80 companies, which represents the World Business Council for Sustainable Development in Peru. Listen to Micaela speak about:

  • What the more chaotic conditions and informal systems of developing countries can teach us about creativity and resilience
  • How disruption can highlight the importance of purpose, the power of interconnection and the necessity for clear metrics of progress
  • Best practices from the hydro company Celepsa, which is helping Peru to deal with water stress in Lima, the second largest desert capital city (after Cairo)
  • Dealing with patriarchy and inequality in society and business, especially by supporting entrepreneurial women to access finance and opportunities
  • The importance of cultural diversity and taking sustainability inspiration from indigenous history, such as the 5000-year old sacred city of Caral
