MÁXIMO MAZZOCCO

Working for Sustainability

Diversity is the most wonderful thing we all have in common (Anonymous).

Máximo Mazzocco is a Pangeist & Ecopreneur with more than 15 years of experience working in the sustainability world. Founder of Eco House Global and tens of impact first projects, he is an Active Member of Kay Pacha’s Order, a UNDP Youth Global Leader, a Steering Committee Member of the Youth Climate Justice Fund and an Author. Co-creator of several initiatives and networks, he aims for an economy that promotes peace (in every possible sense), and human, animal & environmental well-being in a comprehensive way. His love for animals led him to follow a plant-based diet for more than 10 years.

From 2007 to 2022, his personal mission was to put “the socio-environmental stuff” at the top of the Political, Public and Private Agenda, and generate as many change agents as possible. Thereby, he directly participated in the approval of more than 40 socio-environmental laws in Argentina (including national, provincial and municipal), actively intervened to generate more than 20 Youth Councils in organizations and companies with a global impact, organized digital communication campaigns with millions of users reached, among many others.

Also, from 2016 to 2020, EHG was one of the youth-led movements with the highest number of volunteers in Latin America (its “Agents of Change” volunteer program was then replicated by dozens of partner organizations).

It is worth clarifying that he openly is not a follower of any political party since he has not yet found one that represents him as he would love to be represented.
