The Story of a Brand


Feb 26, 2022

This episode is brought to you by Sendlane.

 

Helping to convert a brand to more sustainable business practices starts with green warehousing practices, says George Wojciechowski and Jen Root, co-founders of Manifest Commerce.

 

"There are sustainable alternatives every step of the way, even down to end of life with upcycling and re-commerce," Jen says.

 

The process of converting a supply chain to a sustainable format is "comprehensive," George says, but the important thing is "to just start."

 

In Part 2, Jen and George talk about:

 

* How plastics can be used to recreate things ten times over.
* How maritime partnerships can help with lowering carbon footprints.
* The start of "shared truckloads," which works like carpooling for your inventory.
* Despite the company's noble mission, it's still essential to be competitive in price and "hit the slots" that e-commerce business owners need.
* Building a sustainable business from the ground up is essential. It's hard to pivot when you're going 100 miles per hour.

 

Join Ramon Vela, Jen Root and George Wojciechowski as they break down the inside story on The Story of a Brand.
