As the effects of climate change become more and more prevalent, awareness around sustainable and eco friendly products is on the rise. So much so that for many businesses these buzzwords have become a marketing strategy. But what does it really mean to build an eco-conscious or eco-friendly business? It is more than just planting a tree for every order you get, it is a lifestyle.  

In this episode, Kunle and Andréa talk about building and growing an eco-conscious brand. You will get to hear about what the supply chain for such a business looks like, how to package and market such products, balancing sustainability with profit. This is a great episode for entrepreneurs.
