Advisor | Sustainability
 

Gonzalo Muñoz was nominated by the Chilean presidency and the United Nations as the High Level Climate Champion for the 25th Conference of the Parties (COP25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), to mobilize climate action among non-state actors around the world. Prior to this, he co-founded and ran TriCiclos, one of the most recognized Latin American companies in circular economy and recycling.

Inspired by 10 years of running traditional food businesses where he witnessed the waste generated by the private sector, Mr. Muñoz aimed to offer a transformative service that would help the environment while also being financially sustainable. Using business and entrepreneurial skills, he redirected efforts to ideals and passion for sustainability and the environment. After launching Triciclos in Chile, he continued into Brazil and now it operates in 13 countries in Latin America, with the mission to foster new designs for a world without waste. TriCiclos was also the first company to become a certified B corporation outside North America. Mr. Muñoz cofounded Sistema B and is a member of the board at BLab global. He is also an advisor in the national committees of Water, Green Hydrogen and Circular Economy in Chile.
