Tom Kay On Launching & Growing A Sustainable Business
Founded in 2003, Finisterre has long had a reputation for innovation and sustainability. Today, the company is B Corps certified; an accreditation that’s only awarded to businesses which balance purpose and profit. Finisterre, like all other B Corporation companies, is required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community and the environment. In short, it’s a global community of leaders, driving a global movement of people, who are using business as a force for good. It’s the subject of much of our conversation with Tom.
Tom believes that by inspiring a love for the sea, it will encourage us all to protect it, and, in effect, become guardians of the oceans. We hope you’re as inspired by Tom, and what he and the team at Finisterre has achieved, as we are.
To find out more about Finisterre, search “Finisterre”.
For the purposes of absolute transparency, Finisterre did not, and nor did Tom, pay us to appear on the Eat Your Greens podcast. We just like what the team do and wanted to learn more.
