BUSINESS as NATURE — Association for Sustainable Production and Consumption and the Circular Economy (BasN) is a non-profit association dedicated to sustainability and women’s rights. Established in 2019, it promotes a circular, low-carbon economy and sustainable production and consumption while emphasising the vital role women play as agents of change in their communities.

To achieve its goals, BasN organises and promotes projects at national and international levels that align with the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, particularly SDG 5 (Gender Equality) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). These initiatives aim to strengthen connections among citizens, consumers, businesses, academia, and government institutions to create a fairer and more responsible society.

In September 2022, BasN launched the “Women 4 OUR Climate” movement, an initiative focused on the well-being of communities and planetary sustainability, advocating for a balance between human rights and climate action.
