Summary

What are some ways in which non-profits can really shine and accomplish things that even purpose-driven businesses may not be able to? Why is it so important for sustainability to be inclusive of everybody, no matter our backgrounds, abilities, differences in beliefs, or accessibility?

Sharing her wisdom here is Kate Williams, CEO of 1% For the Planet, which is a global movement inspiring businesses and individuals to support environmental nonprofit solutions through annual membership and everyday actions. In addition to bringing experiences from her past leadership along, she believes strongly in the power of collective action. Let's dive in.

HIGHLIGHTS

[4:55] Kate: "It's about protecting places, but it's also about engaging a broad group of people all over the world—and how do we most effectively do that?"

[17:27] Kaméa: "What do you think has been key to getting so many companies and people on board?"

[19:46] Kate discusses the importance of inclusivity and accessibility within the sustainability movement.

[20:01] Kate: "No matter where you live or how much money you have, you are a human on this planet that we share—so we need to take that into account."

[23:53] Kate discusses the power of the nonprofit sector and its ability to go where for-profit businesses cannot.

[30:56] Kate: "There's always something you can do, and among those things, I think it's really important that people choose because you're going to stay committed to the thing that's right for you."
