Establishment of B Lab Ghana

Africa's First B Lab Establishment in Ghana!

B Lab Ghana is working with MAGO CREATION Co., Ltd., to address environmental and poverty issues in Ghana’s slums, promote the concept of “Sustainable Capitalism,” and create 10,000 jobs for Ghanaians by 2030 by leveraging art, sustainabletechnology, and media to address social issues. To kick off these efforts, the initiative will build a gallery for Ghanaian artists in the metaverse, with proceeds from sales returned to the artists, as well as launch “Milly,” an SDGs character IP designed by Shingo Nagasaka, an artist and visiting professor at iU.

We are planning to develop educational content featuring "Chan" as the main character.

B Lab Ghana will continue its efforts to provide sustainable solutions to social issues in Ghana and drive local transformation.
