CLIMATEWORK MAINE’s Post

In my latest episode of Sustainability Leaders I speak with experts to put this summer’s wildfire season into context and discuss actions that communities and homeowners can take to reduce their risk.

A great read, indeed! Very insightful piece loaded with needle moving recommendations for “harnessing the power of boards to embed sustainability.” “Now is the time to shift mindsets from treating sustainability as a moral choice to a source of enduring competitive advantage – focusing on two measurements used by stakeholders to evaluate companies: financial performance and sustainability impact.”

How do you create a greater positive impact beyond your business operations?   In this episode, Kiarne Treacy sits down with Elissa Foster of Who Gives A Crap, who breaks down the challenges and triumphs of leading the company’s sustainability strategy, reducing overall impact and impacting global change for the better.   Founded in 2012, Who Gives A Crap was born when Simon Griffiths, Danny Alexander, and Jehan Ratnatunga decided it wasn’t ok that 2.4 billion people on earth don’t have access to sanitary toilets, and they set out on their mission to make and sell toilet paper that gives a crap!   We also delve into their cheeky approach to business - while they may not take themselves too seriously, they certainly take their mission and product seriously.
