Legado Household is an initiative founded in 2014 by former Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso and educator Dani Rogatis, as a permanent platform of monthly conversations among over 300 members of Brazil’s best and brightest, fostering a new generation of leaders for the real challenges of our nation, beyond political and partisan biases.

The main purpose of LEGADO was to prepare a select group of young adult members of Brazilian Business Families for their role in the changes that Brazil must undertake should it be up to the global dynamics of the 21st century. In its initial experience, LEGADO focused on providing young adults with insights about their role in shaping the future of our country, as well as the challenges entailed by the quest for change, not only in therealm of their own businesses, but also in the realm of social, political, economic, and cultural advances, always with a core commitment to the preservation of Planet Earth and Brazil’s role as a key shaper of global sustainability.

After seven years of continuous work on a national platform, LEGADO went global after standing up to the challenge of bringing about meaningful engagement towards the environmental, social, political, and economic transformations the world is experiencing at the beginning of this century. Pitching a reinvention of what concepts such as an adequate standard of living or human dignity mean, LEGADO has been trying to shed light on the strategic and moral value of protecting biomes and biodiversity and regenerating its previous degradation around the globe, a crucial pathway towards ensuring food and water security in a global scale, as well as the preservation of freedom and peace. The challenges of the 21st century is intertwined and complex. They require combined talents and joint globally collaborative forces in unprecedented human integration, which is only possible through the commitment of a generation in favor of the values and causes that preserve life on Earth and the commitment to create a new approach for sustainable prosperity.

The current times demand skilled debates on universal values, ethics, and new economic approaches to global thriving, all the more reason why it is high time an ultra-qualified,more aware, and dynamic generation that gave rhythm and speedy to build a reality we all can be proud of.

To foster this endeavor, we bet on ultra-qualifying young members of new generations of private sector business families with the knowledge conveyed by world leaders, bearers of exceptional legacies who have materialized their contributions to global development in their time and can now inspire the global new generation to direct personal potential combined with its multiple resources to take the lead in shaping a more prosperous and peaceful society.

To this end, LEGADO, has formed a Household of initiative to support a global platform of 200 young adult members in key countries around the globe to discuss political, social, and economic paths, as well as the role that they, as future leaders of the private sector, willneed to play and to coalesce a view of global development, for the members of the group and a vision of their role in accelerating the progress we need to see, worldwide.

LEGADO is a call to the global new generation to become highly qualifified for the role and responsibilities of those who have the opportunity to lead the greatest transformation the planet has ever experienced in their hands.
