  • 74. The Danish food start-up MATR Food leads the way to become the best IN and FOR the world.

    Randi Wahlsten is a business leader with a track record in the food industry. She is the CEO of MATR Foods and explains in the CARE Principles podcast why the food revolution will come from small innovative companies and not from the big players.

    Most people know that we can lower our ecological footprint by eating more plant-based foods. However, most processed vegan food we find in retail does not have a small environmental footprint.

    The founders of the Danish vegan brand MATR Food try to change that by offering a culinary product with local ingredients.
    CARE for the Planet is at the core of MATR Food's mission, and brand strategist Isabel Verstraete finds out in this CARE Principles podcast episode how health and sustainability are related and why that is of importance to all of us.

  • 71. Can tourism be more sustainable and how can we - also as tourists - help in the green transition?

    Since 2019 Runa Sabroe has been the Director Of Development at Wonderful Copenhagen, the official Tourism Department of the city. As one of the first cities on this globe, Copenhagen has decided to become carbon-neutral and in this green transition, they have made remarkable decisions in tourism. They called it: The end of Tourism. To change tourism in their city they made some bold choices.

    For instance, since 2017 they have stopped promoting the city's main tourist attractions or the best season to visit. How are they leading the global debate on sustainable and innovative ways of tourism is what I talk about with Runa.

    Watch or listen to this trailblazer who gives concrete examples of how tourism can become more sustainable and how to take the lead in this green transition!

  • 70. Emil Fuglsang is Co-Founder of Matter, a Danish technology company that makes sustainable investments simple, flexible, and transparent!

    Emil Stigsgaard Fuglsang is Co-Founder & COO at Matter, a Danish tech company that makes sustainable investments simple, and transparent.

    Matter is not interested in what the world means for a company, they look at what companies do for the world.
    Emil explains how sustainable investments have evolved in the last 2 decades and explains the difference between ESG goals, the European Green Deal, CSR, and the United Nation's SDGs because it is confusing to have so many terms and regulations right?
    Despite the fact that they work in a Business-to-Business context, he gives a tip for individual investors on how to invest in ethical funds, something we can all learn to do to take better care of people and the planet. When you want to invest as a private investor, ask your bank or search for an Article 8 or 9 fund, also called dark green funds. These types of funds must make only sustainable investments (generally) and they must disclose how investments qualify as environmentally sustainable. So you basically have proof that these funds are not greenwashing, or making investments in non-ethical businesses like weapons. 
    In short, a fascinating and informative session in a new episode of this podcast demonstrates how it is possible to do business for good.

  • 69. Is a company that gives total freedom and shares to its employees successful?

    From all the podcast interviews I did, Ali E. Cevik definitely stands out. He is the founder and CEO of HR-ON and he runs his organization in a very particular way. He gives total freedom to his employees to take holidays when they want, as often as they need, work from where ever they want, and get shares of the company to participate in the financial successes.

    How does that work? Simply listen to this amazing leader and get enthused to transform your organization and take better CARE of your employees.
