Driving Efficiency in Mining: O Trade’s Innovative Solutions Aligned with the UN’s Vision for Social Innovation

June 19th, 2023

The 77th Session of the UN General Assembly this March highlights the importance of social entrepreneurship.

In March 2023, the United Nations General Assembly will hold its 77th session under the theme “Solutions through Solidarity, Sustainability and Science”. The Assembly recognizes the importance of promoting the social and solidarity economy for sustainable development and highlights the role of social entrepreneurship, including cooperatives and social enterprises, in poverty alleviation and social transformation. In addition, the Assembly emphasizes the contributions of the social and solidarity economy to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of employment, social services, gender equality, access to finance and local economic development. The theme of the 77th session aligns with O Trade’s vision and mission: as a social enterprise, our goal is to work with clients to integrate communities into industrial activities by tackling socio-economic challenges through the development of innovative socio-economic solutions.

At O Trade, we share the belief that a responsible and inclusive natural resource industry can be a catalyst for positive socio-economic change. Together with our clients, we have contributed to advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 SDGs, which serve as a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all.
