Fortaleza hosts the 5th edition of Fenacce, the National Crafts and Culture Fair in Ceará , from September 26 to October 1, promoting crafts and culture as pillars of the collaborative economy. The event, held at the Ceará Events Center , brings together more than 1,500 artisans from 27 Brazilian states. Aligned with the metrics of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN Global Compact , in this 2023 edition, Fenacce will promote sustainability actions to reduce environmental impacts within the economic, social and environmental pillars, managing the waste generated during the event. Stella Pavan , Fenacce coordinator and president of
Sindieventos Ceará, explains that the initiative aims to integrate the crafts sector and the creative and collaborative economy, with ESG practices focused on socio-environmental responsibility, making the event a reference at a local and national level.
Creative Economy
In addition to embodying the soul of Brazilian culture , handicrafts are a sector of the economy whose growth has high potential for generating jobs and income. In 2020, according to data from the Itaú Cultural Observatory , Brazil's culture and creative industries economy (ECIC) generated R$230.14 billion, equivalent to 3.11% of Brazil's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the period. Sustainability
Crafts, innovation, novelty and sustainable actions are the pillars of the Fair, which has a waste management program – from the
Fenacce organizing team, through exhibitors and artisans to the visiting public. “
The goal is to reduce the impact of waste generated during the fair by more than 90% through actions that will follow the SDG metrics, such as selective collection, separation of organic waste for composting, environmental education, reuse of materials, among others ”, explains André Luis, environmental manager and consultant at Transforme Serviços Verdes, a company that signed the Global Compact Brazil, which will provide consulting and monitoring services for the activities at the Fair.
