Why we hold nexos+1? The Challenges

The environmental crisis is forcing us to

rethink what we value and the impact

that each of our decisions has. Meet the

challenges that we seek to solve.

Nexos+1 in 2018

Lima, Peru was the location for the fourth

edition of the central event that is nexos+1:

Connections that Transform. See what we

learned in this edition!

A growing number of

people, from diverse public

and private organizations,

get together annually,

facing the sea, in the

magical Domos of San

Miguel, Lima, Peru.

These people have

something in common:

they believe that everyday

decisions can build a

different future. We call

them “+1s”

Numerous virtual and face

to face meetings around

the world of these “+1s”

culminate in this unique

two day experience,

where, in addition to doing

business with an impact ,

we make connections that

transcend the purpose of

our companies, policies,

research, social activities,

consumption decisions and

often of our own lives.

nexos+1 is an initiative with

a Latin flavor that was

born in 2015 to create a

transformational journey for

all those that wish to lend

support to a sustainable

world, from companies, the

government, academia,

NGOs, international

cooperation and people.

Together, we learn about

by the achievements of

those who have bravely

decided to lead the way.

We come to understand

the challenges faced by

those who design policy,

tools, products and services

that seek to generate a

positive impact in the world.

In this way, as individuals,

organizations and groups,

we find ways to resolve

our problems at the local,

regional and global levels.

The Objectives of

Sustainable Development

(ODS) and the Paris

Agreement on Climate

Change shape our

framework for action, as

we recognize the needs

of people, altered by a

changing climate, oblige us

to rethink our ways of doing

business and indeed, of our

WELCOME TO

We live in a challenging and exciting moment of time

for humanity. We have faced enormous challenges: the

breakdown of apartheid, we are reverting ozone depletion and

the abolition of slavery. We do not need the whole of mankind,

just a small and committed group of people to work together

to mold the future, create a global movement and agree a new

social contract.

The environmental crisis is forcing us to rethink what we value

and the impact that each of the decisions that we take in our

family, places of work and in politics. It is time to work for the

regeneration of ecosystems, for a less lineal economy and for

the creation of mechanisms that will allow us to assume our

responsibility for the planet.

There is already an answer

from the international

community to face these

challenges and they

have established global

agreements. Among

them, binding international

commitments such as the

Paris Agreement, the SDGs

and the Aichi Biodiversity

generate changes in

consumer demands, in

reporting requirements

and transparency for

companies, as well as in the

requirements for financing in

regulations and standards.

The role of the private sector is fundamental in this process,

since it can provide innovative solutions, invest in technology,

provides employment for a large percentage of people of

this planet, has the capacity to positively influence consumer

behavior and above all, has the interest to continue doing

business. In a world in crisis, the complexity of doing business

will be seriously affected by numerous factors: problems

within supply chains, resource scarcity such as electricity,

water, extreme climate events, potential carbon tax schemes,

regulatory changes, new requirements demanded by

investors, more demanding markets, among others.

In this context, nexos+1 was born, a platform for climate action

that gives evidence to the transcendent role of the private

sector to face these huge challenges, and in addition, which

seeks to facilitate the links between actors that share the same

objective: to lead the planet to a more sustainable horizon.

THE CHALLENGES OF

THETHEORY

We know that today we are facing the most critical and exciting moment in the

history of humanity.

After facing enormous challenges for our species, we have

learned that it is not necessary that all human beings be

focused on driving a great transformation. It only requires a

small group of committed people who work together to begin

to change reality. We call these people +1s, those who work

together to generate change towards sustainability.

Libélula developed the theory+1 to define the journey of all

agents of transformation. It comprises 4 concepts:

(1) the innovation curve, (2) spheres of connection, (3)

coordination of actors and (4) the transformative journey.

The curve of

INNOVATIONfrom 2.5% to 16%

Everett Rogers’ theory of innovation diffusion shows the speed

at which new ideas move. People can be classified According

to their willingness to adopt innovation progressively.

Maloney’s 16% rule refers to the amount needed to cross “the

abyss” and be adopted by most people.

The curve of innovation diffusion shows that one only needs

2.5% of innovators to achieve 13.5% of early adopters. With

this 16%, one can adopt an innovation through the progressive

domino effect.

In nexos+1 we call “+1s” the innovators and early adopters.

Those people who not only take care of the environment,

but also generate positive changes. This is the principal

characteristic of the +1, which extends to their way of doing

business, designing policies, producing knowledge and

investment, finance and creating alliances and associations.

What we are talking about is a total paradigm shift: that life

be placed at the center of the economy and not the other way

around. By the year 2030, we need one billion people who

adopt these new paradigms. We need to promote work in an

interconnected way for a sustainable world.

This means transforming the world little by little. From 2.5% to

16% of each space, organization, sector and family to make a

positive impact on the world.

actions. They want to innovate and support an enormous

change that affects society, economy and the environment.

Why is it important to join the +1? » The challenges are very large and we cannot solve

them alone. Global challenges such as climate change,

contamination by plastic or deforestation require work

based on alliances, harnessing synergies and collaboration.

» Joining together we multiply. We need many +1s that can

provide large and small solutions. That is why it is important

that we start to create a community that multiplies

impacts… and to do it fast!

» There is little time left. According to the Intergovernmental

Panel of Experts on Climate Change (IPCC) we have 12

years left (until 2030) in which to reduce global emissions if

we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change.

What do we aim to achieve? We want to create a community to accelerate all the +1 and

» Meet and have the opportunity to know worthwhile people

» Share information about sustainability, the problem of

THE THEORY

Transformation is made by people. For this reason, nexos+1

prioritizes this connection.

This occurs in four spheres: with oneself and your purpose,

with your community, with nature and with the future that you

aspire to build. Today we live with the greatest overpopulation

in history, in a context that threatens the capacity of the Earth

to provide vital environmental services. This requires people

with a higher level of consciousness, with new abilities to do

business centered on the global good.

For this reason, business leaders are called upon to change

their core philosophy: to move away from business based on

dividends to business focused on generating common good.

This transformation is vital for companies to aspire and endure

over time.

THE THEORY

THE JOURNEY of transformation

The world needs a new kind

of leader. Be a person that

accompanies and receives

information from their

community.

Manage new information,

learn about new trends and

understand the new models

that you should follow.

Search and be trained in

new tools, according to your

needs and interests.

The only way to transform is by co-creation and working

in alliance with others. Choose the challenge or problem

that you wish to solve and summon or join diverse actors.

Innovation comes from the capacity to work with people

that are different from you and who have the capacity to

assume complementary roles and collaborate.The nexos+1 journey is created in response to this challenge of being a +1. It takes place in

four stages that repeat themselves: first, we imagine the world we want; then, we learn new

knowledge and ways of doing things; after that, we endow ourselves with tools that empower us;

and, finally, we generate connections that transform reality.

THE THEORY

Nexos+1 2018 was built collaboratively with actors and partners from Peru and Latin America, through various presential and virtual spaces.

Manuel Cigarán COSAPI

Carlos Loret de MolaGESTARES

35 36

We knew that public action was not going to be enough

and that the ability to adapt is greater in the private sphere,

because in it we are accustomed to respond to market

changes and to anticipate the evidence of possible future

transformations. We were also clear that many companies

did not consider that the global environmental crisis would

determine their future and the sustainability of their businesses

over time. Therefore, we decided that working in silos would

not work, since policies are usually designed at a desk and,

thus implementation is often expensive and difficult. In

addition, we observe that for many organizations it is easier to

compete than to cooperate. For all these reasons, and because

the window to make significant changes expires in 2030, we

need new actors and skills that allow us to move from policy

and ideas to implementation.

Photograhic Exhibition “Florece” by Sebastián Gil de Miranda

Sebastián Gil de Miranda, renowned Argentinian photographer and

documentary maker showed us some of his works which presented

our reality and helped us to reflect upon the importance of caring

for the planet and the fight for sustainability. In “Florece”, his project

in Riachuelo Matanza in Buenos Aires (one of the most polluted

rivers in the world) gave a camera to children from 3 to 18 years old

and, looking through their eyes, saw in their photos that the children

found flowers at the edge of the river despite the pollution. The

children stopped polluting the river, they taught others do not, and

today they have planted trees on the margin of river managing to

improve its quality of life.

Documentary “To the Sea” by Conservamos por Naturaleza

The documentary “To the

Law of Wave Breakers in

Peru (Ley de Rompientes),

the efforts of the campaign

“Do it for your Wave” (Hazlo

In the face of new challenges, new markets arise.

Sustainability criteria in goods and services are becoming

increasingly relevant. According to EY, 66% of consumers

throughout the world prefer to buy goods and services from

social and environmentally responsible companies (2017).

The World Economic Forum (WEF) mentions the existence of

opportunities in sustainability with a value of US$12 billion. For

this reason nexos+1 celebrates the initiatives of large and small

brands that are preparing for one of the greatest trends of the

new economy.

In nexos+1 more than 40 sustainable brands were able to

show their wares to an exclusive audience of more than 500

key actors in sustainability and where they could engage in

purposeful networking and generate partnerships and explore

explained the importance of developing a more just world that gives opportunities to all. He also

recalled that sustainability, besides being a way to do business, contributes to a positive change

of the country and the world. Finally, he assured that being part of this change is a privilege and

that we must all have a common goal: to make this planet better.

Pedro Friedrich, Director of Tonka (Argentina), explained how his company implemented Deep

Sustainability with 5 axes: zero waste, zero garbage, zero emissions, measure the happiness

of people and ensure that business growth is also beneficial for society. He also reviewed the

measures they took to meet these goals: carbon footprinting, photovoltaic panels, acquiring

hectares to regenerate forests, among other actions. “If you can do it, you must do it today,” he

concluded.

According to WEF, the current linear

extracts approximately 65,000 millions

tonnes of raw materials per year, but 80%

of these materials has an end of life as

waste, which represents an irretrievable

loss of approximately US $ 2.6 billion every

year (Circulate, 2017)

According to the Ellen MacArthur

Foundation, adopting a circular economic

approach could save European

manufacturers around US $ 630 billion

at year by 2025 in material costs, which

would also lead to the creation of more

than 2 million jobs. (Towards the circular

In addition, the Club of Rome think-tank

published a study that suggested that

carbon emissions could be reduced up

by70% if a circular economy philosophy

is adopted (Ostollic, P. (2016). Medium

SUSTAINABLELiberated companies: a new form of organizationOlivier Gesbert

(MM21/Pressto)

The principal theme of the

liberated business model

is trust in its employees.

This theme is the key to

being able to ACCEPT new

challenges. The existence

of a manager is not

essential for an organization

to succeed. Liberated

companies promote self-

management, responsibility

and staff development,

which entails a collaborative

self-regulated and

productive system where

decisions are taken in a

sociocratic way.

Towards a Business with PurposeIan Sznak y Mariale Soto (Sistema B)

Being a company with a

focus on sustainability is a

market trend. The Impact

B Evaluation (EIB) helps

to define a sustainability

strategy, identifying

strengths, creates concrete

actions plans and enables

the visualization of whether

actions are sustainable.

The EIB is an agile tool that

all companies can use to

diagnose, compare and

continually improve their

positive impact.

Sustainable PR Diffusion with social and environmental valueMaribel Toledo-Ocampo (TOC Asociados)

Sustainability is not

philanthropy, it is a business

approach that generates

brand reputation, but must

be communicated correctly.

This implies using the

appropriate means and

creative ways to impact

consumers. For PR to be

successful, communication

activities must not only

seek the customer´s

attention, but also the

means of communication.

This last point is achieved

by being aware of the

current context, making

alliances with public figures

and maintaining constant

messages that give

evidence to what we are

doing and the impact we

are having.

themselves must solve them,

resolve it, first we must know

ourselves and then reflect

on how we can connect our

How to innovate internally with impact Florencia Estrade (Liga de Intraemprendedores-Uruguay)

To be an intrapreneur

means being a person

who seeks change from

within an organization. This

person is committed to the

company and to ensuring

that it has a positive impact

to society.

Intrapreneurs are internal

agents of change which are

becoming more relevant

in organizations every day,

since they are constantly

searching for innovation,

knowledge and visualizing

the impact on society.

Setting Science Based Targets (SBT)Fernando Rangel (WWF)

Science based targets (SBT)

is an initiative that seeks

to mobilize the private

sector to adopt emissions

reduction targets in a

context of climate change.

The SBT helps goal setting

by calculating projections

over time the impacts

that each decision taken

has, and how modifying

these decisions will yield

a positive impact in the

future aligned to the global

goal of not exceeding a

2°C rise in average global

temperature.

Incorporating Sustainability Strategies in your businessPablo Vega (Libélula)

Trends today mean risks

and opportunities.

When you change current

practices, you will change

the sector. “Brand loyalty is

generated when company

values are shared by

consumers”.

To implement a

sustainability strategy,

one must first define the

objective, 1) comply, 2)

compete or 3) be a leader.

In order to lead, one must

define metrics for each

action in order to evaluate

the impact in terms of

income, costs, reputation,

internal commitment and

attraction of investment

capital.

Talent that transformsRafael Achondo (Matteria-Colombia)

Organizations should

account of the fact that

people not only search for

modern leadership, clear

communication, growth

recognition and learning,

but also want to work in a

Sustainable Companies: How to turn sustainability into an engine of innovation and competitiveness in companies?

What did we learn?

According to a study

published by the

Commission of Business

and Sustainable

Development (CNDS),

formed by business

leaders and civil society in

January 2016, businesses

that comply with the ODS

can create 24 million

jobs in Latin America and

economic opportunities

worth one trillion dollars

by 2030 (ILO, 2018). The

CNDS seeks to accelerate

the transformation of

markets to move towards a

sustainable economy. The

study examined the benefits

companies can attain if they

meet the 17 Objectives of

Sustainable Development,

agreed in 2015 by 193

member states of the UN.

The report shows that

companies that meet the

SDG goals could create

opportunities up to a value

of 12 trillion dollars and

generate up to 380 million

jobs by 2030 (Agencia

EFE, 2017), most of them in

developing countries.

Companies are finally

understanding that

there is no possibility

of being sustainable in

an unsustainable world.

Business continuity will

be closely defined by the

capability of all (countries,

organizations, companies

and people) to get off the

“business as usual” path

and move towards a low

carbon and climate resilient

economy.

There are already many

studies carried out by

McKinsey, Deloitte, KPMG

and PwC that affirm that

sustainability is relevant

to competitiveness and

innovation in a company.

Taking a systemic

approach, considering

financial variables (the

classic), as well as social

and environmental ones,

forces organizations to ask

different questions. This

allows the development

of alternative solutions,

change the way of thinking

of upper management,

involve other actors in

the creation of solutions

(local governments,

entrepreneurs, NGOs,

etc.) and acquire new

knowledge, skills and

values. This transforms the

culture of the company to

one in which challenges

become opportunities of

more and better business

for the world.

There are no sustainable

companies in an

unsustainable world. The

climate crisis threatens

the planet and business

activities.

There are several ways to

stimulate innovation and

increase competitiveness

in an organization, one way

involves using challenges

for staff to solve. Three

such examples include (a)

asking employees to solve

a complex problem, (b)

set an ambitious goal and

(c) reduce the available

resources to undertake

an activity (budget, time,

human resources, inputs,

etc).

Companies have the

potential to undergo

transcendental change,

however, they cannot

do it alone. They require

partners and allies, as well

as empathize with their

stakeholders in order to be

more competitive.

Allow people to make

mistakes. Innovation

requires that companies

accept errors in the process.

It is fundamental that

companies have a systemic

vision that puts the

welfare of people and the

planet at the centre.

Without this there

is no sustainable

business.Anirban Ghosh

Sustainable Cities: How to transform realities in and around cities?

What did we learn?

According to UN - Habitat

(2012), Latin America is a

fundamentally urban region

where almost 80% of the

population live in cities. In

the region, there are 4 of

the 20 world´s largest cities

with more than 10 million

inhabitants and 55 of the

414 cities with more than

one million inhabitants. In

these 55 cities, 183 million

people live, one third of

the total population in Latin

American (Commission

European, IDB, 2013). This

proportion is greater than in

most developed countries,

which is why it is consider

the most urbanized region

the world (UN - Habitat,

2012).

Additionally, 55% of regional

GDP is generated in cities

and it is expected that

80% of future growth will

originate in urban centres

(European Commission,

IDB, 2013). However,

important challenges facing

the region still persist,

problems of poverty and

inequality; issues which may

deteriorate by the impacts

of change climate.

More than 40 years after

the first Earth Summit

(Stockholm, 1972),

advances have been

made in understanding

the relationship between

cities and the environment.

Many cities have promising

initiatives such as protecting

strategic environmental

areas and reduction of GHG

emissions, river recovery

and improvements in air

quality, among many others.

Despite these advances,

today one of the main

challenges facing cities is

climate change, in terms

of both mitigation and

adaptation.

Around the world smart

cities are being designed,

in the same way that

ICT (Technologies

of Information and

Communication) are used

for the management

and provision of different

services, like governance,

economy, social issues,

mobility, security, energy,

culture, environment, etc.

Technology is fundamental,

significant advances in

its application already

exist, such as the smart

cities concept and

ongoing initiatives such as

Simbiocity.

The connection between

rural and urban areas

is important as well as

recognition of the necessary

functions rural areas and

their inhabitants provide for

city dwellers in the supply

of goods and services

including environmental

services.

People that live in cities

need to understand that

they have a protagonist role

in boosting sustainability,

and that individuals should

take the lead. Art and

culture are vehicles that can

inspire and catalyze those

changes.

This challenge is already

being addressed by

pioneering initiatives that

are growing from strength

to strength, such as Alto

Sustainability in Finances: How to mobilize investment and finance towards companies, impact initiatives and ecosystems?

What did we learn?

During the UN General

Assembly, in a high-level

session on finance for the

2030 Agenda of Sustainable

Development, the United

Nations Secretary General,

António Guterres, affirmed

before global leaders that

investments of between

5,000 to 7,000 million

dollars every year are

needed to implement the

Sustainable Development

Objectives Sustainable.

Guterres advised that «they

have made some progress

in the mobilization of

resources towards this end,

but that much much more is

needed». (UN, 2018)

During the 2018 Global

Climate Action Summit, it

was estimated that the new

UN-backed commitments

to take action against the

harmful effects of climate

change could generate $26

trillion in economic benefits

worldwide and help create

65 million new “carbon free”

jobs by 2030. (UN, 2018)

Impact investment can

be a valuable source of

capital, above all to finance

the needs of development

in low income countries

or for the provision of

products and services

intended for vulnerable

communities. It is estimated

that impact investment

can oscillate between

40,000 and 100,000 million

dollars, depending on the

sector and type of activity

defined as such (UN, 2015).

Moreover, it is estimated

that the future potential

of impact investment,

ranges from a relatively

modest figure up to a total

of 1,000 billion dollars on

a global scale. (UN, 2015)

Among impact investors

it is worth mentioning

support organizations , non-

governmental organizations,

philanthropic foundations

and independent

benefactors with personal

fortunes and a desire to

contribute as well as banks,

institutional investors and

other types of companies

and funds. According to

a joint study by of impact

investment by UNCTAD and

the US Department of State

made in 2012, more than

90% of impact investment

funds were still invested in

the developed world, mainly

in social impact projects

and renewable energy (JP

Morgan).

The role of finance is central

to catalyze the changes

and build the future that we

want.

We need a new metric.

Evaluations of smart

return on investment

should include social and

environmental impacts.

It is essential to establish

bridges between investors

and entrepreneurs, as well

as recognize the different

roles of other actors such as

philanthropic organizations

and the State.

Financial resources per se

are not enough to catalyze

business and sustainable

initiatives. It requires

accompaniment, mentoring

and the development of

management tools.

Facilitated by:

Sustainability and People: How to mobilize citizens for a sustainable world?

What did we learn?

Every day, thousands of

scientists are studying

life on the planet, and the

general conclusion is that

we live in an environmental

crisis: our lifestyles are

the main cause. We

have become experts

in registering how we

are destroying the place

where we live, but we have

not yet managed to use

that information to make

systemic changes that

will enable us to cease to

be a destructive force on

the planet and become

a regenerative force. The

challenge is, to achieve that

goal, we need everyone to

get involved.

The key is that, by

satisfying our clothing,

food, transportation and

recreation needs, not only

must we generate less

impact, but we must leave a

positive impact on nature.

Four prioritized needs

were chosen to work on

in groups: (a) mobility (b)

clothing, (c) food and (d)

waste.

Each one of us has a role

to fulfill: as professionals,

heads of families,

consumers or citizens; from

our homes, businesses,

organizations and

government. Therefore,

what we seek to achieve

is, that when we choose to

consume a good or service,

that the massive option,

the default choice, be a

regenerative one or the one

that generates a positive

environmental or social

impact.

In this context, the

challenge was focused on

Commitment + 1, where

Commitment + 1 is an

invitation for each of us to

take concrete actions to

make the transition towards

regeneration and build

together a sustainable

future. Commitment + 1

is a voluntary promise to

change our habits. It is a

grassroots movement that

groups people together

that we bet on not stay with

their arms crossed and that

we believe that the only

way to encourage more

people into taking action

is by doing so collectively,

coherently and with hope

for a sustainable future.

The power of people

(through their consumption,

investment and political

decisions) has the ability

to change the rules of the

game at all levels: family,

local, national and global.

It is not just about

generating less impact,

but of creating a positive

impact in nature and for

society.

A citizen + 1 is an

inspirational person, aware

of him/herself and of their

environment, innovative

and resilient to change,

proactive and responsible,

as well as coherent in what

they say and do.

Increasingly there is

more interest, more

conversations of more

people wanting to build a

sustainable world.

This challenge led to the

initiative Commitment+1

which will continue

throughout 2019

in partnership with

Conservamos por

Naturaleza, Libélula and

nexos+1.

CHALLENGES FOR

IN THE NEXT EDITION OF nexos+1

AND MORE2019

Today it is clear to us that there are countless people,

initiatives and organizations looking to solve global

problems, at different scales (personal, organizational, local

and international); addressing many issues, using multiple

instruments and reaching different territories. How to connect,

scale and measure them evidencing a systemic impact is our

main challenge.

Therefore, there will be four strategies that will guide our

path nexos+1 2019:

We will identify new impact initiatives and we will make them

visible by different means so that they reach a greater number

of people.

We will identify and study collaborative multi-actor models

that are managing to solve specific problems, understanding

their positive impact, which will be measured in accordance

with the SDGs and NDCs of the Paris Agreement.

We will work to identify new + 1s and raising the level of

awareness of a greater number of people in Latin America and

thus encourage them to undertake sustainable actions.

We will orchestrate integrated solutions among diverse actors

in relation to common challenges and promote that everyday

there are more companies that commit to being carbon

neutral and that their goals are aligned with the science.

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT MISS NEXOS+1IT IS NOT AN EVENT

We are not an event, but a

climate action platform that

promotes the generation

of connections for a true

global transformation, that

lets us build a better world

for everyone.

WE GATHER PEOPLE

TO INSPIRE AND

ACHIEVE ACTION AND

COLLABORATIVE WORK.

More than 1,500 actors

key to the ecosystem

of sustainability, the

public and private

sectors, entrepreneurs,

academia, civil society and

International cooperation

have participated in nexos+1.

We know that it is only

possible to innovate when

different points of view

collide, so what we seek

is to connect sustainable

innovators from around the

world.

WE ARE THE “GO

TO” PLATFORM IN

LATIN AMERICA FOR

SUSTAINABILITY AND

CLIMATE CHANGE.

Our dream is taking shape.

We gather different

actors around a common

purpose: to solve complex

problems with triple impact

(social, economic and

environmental), as well

as show the transcendent

role of the private sector to

face this great challenge.

We seek to facilitate the

generation of ties to put

the planet on a more

sustainable path, generating

awareness that is translated

in collective concrete

action.

LEARNING AND

INSPIRATION

It is an opportunity to

hear stories about new

business ventures and

cases of (personal and

business) transformation

from Peru and the world,

in addition to finding out

about new trends, policies,

technology and finance

so that you are informed

about what happens in the

world of sustainability. We

have spaces for learning,

inspiration and connections.

nexos + 1 is an unmissable

experience whether you are

a director, CEO, manager or

head of social responsibility.

POSITIONING AND

VISIBILITY
