Welcome to Purpose Room Podcast—where purpose meets profit. From ethical brands to sustainability leaders, join us for the conversations with the people reshaping industries and what success looks like.
Most brands talk about sustainability. Few can prove it's fueling business growth. In this episode, Ashley breaks down how brands are using carbon data not just for compliance, but to unlock major ROI—from retaining shelf space at Costco to landing climate-focused investors. If you’ve ever wondered how to make your ESG strategy not just ethical but economically strategic, this episode is a masterclass in doing both.
Every purpose-driven brand wants shelf space. But when everyone’s selling purpose—how do you stand out? When Khitish Pandya pitched West Elm, he wasn’t the only social enterprise in the room. But his fair-trade textile company—powered by artisans across rural India—got the yes. In this episode of Purpose Room, we unpack how Khitish built Ecotasar into a commercially viable, values-aligned supply chain without leaning on good-will or compromise.
