About us
Our call: Change the course, change the world.
Our Dragonfly spirit has always kept us on a steady course towards a sustainable horizon and, today more than ever, we know that sustainability is the only solution to the systemic problems facing humanity.
The environmental crisis generated by rising concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere, the degradation of natural resources, ecosystems and biodiversity, as well as inequity and social disconnection, threaten the stability and continuity of human life on the planet. For us, every challenge is an opportunity for transformation, and to truly transform the world, we must first change our course.
This is why, in 2007, Libélula was created in the light of a great dream: to connect the key actors of the transformation to face the global challenge of climate change and work together for a more sustainable world. zero emissions, zero waste, zero poverty and 100% of regenerated ecosystemswhere human beings live in harmony within the limits of the planet. Learn more about how we contribute to these goals in our environmental and sustainability policy.
Our Vision
A world in which human beings live in harmony within the limits of the planet, a sustainable world.
Our Mission

In 2015 we were certified as a B

Why "Dragonfly"?
Dragonfly began as a dream of transformation; a dream without a name until a dragonfly entered what was then our first office.
This fact aroused our curiosity and as we researched more about this species, we discovered that they can take flight quickly, that they have 360° vision and that they can be found in all regions and climates. In addition, they play a key role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem where they live and are a symbol of connection with nature and transformation for several cultures. So, at last, we gave the dream a name: Dragonfly.
