Carolyn Casavan is best known as the founder of West Coast Environmental and Engineering, a very well respected sustainability and engineering firm. She has a wealth of knowledge from over 30 years of helping companies improve their sustainability and businesses processes. So in honor of Earth Day, I was really excited to hear her advice for manufacturers and brands—especially startups who don’t have a lot of bandwidth for non-mission-critical things. In the process, we learn how sustainability isn’t just about compliance or branding or feeling good, but it actually makes really good business sense. (The episode also features Ivka Adam, the Founder and CEO of a new kind of jewelry company called Iconery.)
