Do you know where everything that makes up your product or service comes from? Are you aware of the societal and environmental impact? This is something I got to explore with this weeks guest Jo Salter. During the conversation we look at:
· What inspired Jo to become involved in founding and consulting for ethical businesses.
· How running a business ethically gives customers peace of mind and why transparency and the story being told is an important part of this.
· Some of the issues resulting from non transparent supply chains.
· How businesses can ensure their supply chain is ethical and traceable and the importance of developing relationships.
· How Jo’s experiences with money as a child have influenced her in her life and what she does.
