Documentary series

Is there a way in which everyone can benefit from our planet's natural resources, without compromising what will be left for future generations? The answer to this question can be found in the four corners of the earth, according to the men and women who have successfully created new models of economic development. These forward-thinkers decided to adopt a new way to create longer-lasting and more sustainable growth for mankind and the planet alike. They are farmers, chemists or architects, doctors, retailers, or bankers.... Far from being ecological or political militants, these Architects of Change are above all entrepreneurs.

Architects of Change is a documentary collection that links us with pioneers of a new generation. They believe in creative capitalism to boost social, economic and environmental wealth. Fortunately, they are not alone in promoting such ideas, but these Architects of Change nevertheless prove to us that on their scale and on a daily basis, it is possible.
