RELEVANT SUSTAINABLE GOALS 

EARTH COMPANY IMPACT HERO 2022

Earth Company is calling for applications for Impact Hero 2022! We select one exceptional change-maker in the Asia-Pacific per year and provide three-year customized support including fundraising (minimum US$100k), marketing support, management consulting, etc.
 
Just like their predecessors – Bella Galhos, Robin Lim, Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Wai Wai Nu – our Impact Heroes are visionary leaders that are driven by bottomless passion and resolute determination to make transformative changes to the communities they serve. They are not only role models for the next generations,  but also have the innate ability to inspire the world.
 
Through their work, they aim to achieve paradigm shifts and carve out new, inclusive pathways that truly leave nobody behind and build a regenerative, sustainable future. This approach differs greatly from mere imitations of today’s advanced countries that face their share of social and environmental challenges.

WHY IMPACT HERO ? 

ApIn the pursuit of prosperity and growth, humanity has unintentionally created many issues that are now posing a threat to our own lives. Indeed, we are the last generation that can save our future before it’s too late. Due to this, The world needs more change-makers who can not only resolve these issues but build a regenerative future that does not generate them in the first place. Due to this,  Earth Company selects one Impact Hero a year– a one-of-a-kind change-maker that is capable of transforming the future of developing countries in the Asia-Pacific.
