The Power of 1% for the Planet with Kate Williams
Kate Williams, CEO of 1% for the Planet joins the Si-MBA podcast to discuss companies' impacts on the environment and the world. It all started when founder of Patagonia, Yvon Chouinard, and the founder of Blue Ribbon Flies, Craig Mathews, came up with the idea of businesses taking responsibility for their impacts on the environment. To do this, companies would donate 1% of their annual sales to environmental organizations to help protect the resources they use to ensure a sustainable business model and prevent greenwashing. In this podcast, Kate talks about how she first got involved with the Vermont-based company and what drove her to where she is now. Hosted by Emily Listowich and Payton Beaver.
