Fabric of Change - Ashoka Fellow Flaviano Bianchini of Source International

Flaviano Bianchini is the founder of Source International, which is equipping local communities to drive responsible industrial practices, especially in extractive and textile sectors.

Source has developed a community-based monitoring system of mining activities alongside high-level scientific support for communities that struggle with pollution and human rights abuses from the extractive sector. This system enables communities to have a clear overview of and control over their resources. The scientific data support communities in assessing damages caused to local resources, and strengthen their hand in negotiations to safeguard their environment and protect human rights. The data is useful for companies as well since they are able to assess their negative impacts and reduce the risk of major compensation costs in the future.
