Our co-founder Gill got chatting with the folks at EnvironMental, a podcast by Dandelion Branding, which is a digital marketing agency helping change-making businesses grow. They talked sustainability agendas, packaging, top-of-mind sustainability goals, and the benefits of unrestricted funding. 

Putting agendas into practice  

Creating a sustainability agenda is a huge important step for businesses wanting to make a change, but how does it spring into action? The discussion turned to the ever-shifting practical challenges of sustainability plans, and how to overcome them with some real-world case studies. 

Tied vs unrestricted funding 

Did you know a lot of corporate giving is wrapped up in a restrictive bow? Donations are admirable at any level, but grants to nonprofits often come with conditions, which can stop funds being allocated to where they’re most needed. 

Gill shared our findings on the potential of unrestricted funding and why it’s the kind nonprofits prefer, plus practical suggestions for how businesses can make a real difference.

Have a listen to the interview here and let us know what you think. 

Using business as a force for good can be quite the pickle. While you want to balance profit with purpose, real-world challenges get in the way. We don’t have all the answers at The Business Pickle, but we sure have fun seeking them out.

No lectures or silver bullets. Just lessons learned, research uncovered, and experiences shared by some of the world’s brightest voices on making an impact through business.
