The Polvo Lab, a creative economy lab in Brazil, is transforming social initiatives into sustainable and profitable businesses by identifying and supporting local cooperatives and small businesses. Co-founder Gabi Marques shares the lab's mission to address poverty by bringing income and social mobility to rural communities, using the octopus as a metaphor for its headquarters in São Paulo and outreach across Brazil. Polvo Lab focuses on improving product quality, production methods, and branding for underrepresented items like cacao and millet. The lab acts as a connector between various actors in the production process, ensuring socially responsible supply chains and preventing greenwashing. Empowering individuals and families, Polvo Lab aims to maximize productive inclusion and efficient revenue distribution. The lab's product selection criteria include existing production, a collective equation, focus on recurring use, and preference for agricultural products from family farms. Polvo Lab's initiatives include an organic honey cooperative in Piauí, which exports honey to international markets and focuses on education, resource management, and sustainable production. The lab emphasizes the importance of preserving biomes and creating strong brands while promoting socially responsible businesses.
