​Planet & Profit: Can brands have it all?

​As consumers demand more from brands to actively solve some of our greatest challenges, organisations who are not taking note risk being left behind.

• ​But how can purpose be woven into existing business models or used as a platform to launch new ventures?

• ​How can brands legitimately talk about sustainability while avoiding being accused of greenwashing?

• ​What is the role of technology and innovation to save us from ourselves?

​We'll discuss these questions with our panel:

• ​Matt Dwyer — VP, Product Impact & Innovation (sustainability) at Patagonia — the ultimate purpose driven organisation

• ​Matt Petersen — CEO at the LA Cleantech Incubator

• ​Rog How — Founder & CEO of How&How — branding agency for climate-tech

• ​Bryan Plante — GM North America for Seabin — changing the world with nature positive impact data

• ​Blake Ruschman — Co-Founder of Ecodrive — planting verified trees for businesses

• ​Jaclyn Grauman — CEO & Founder of The Verticale — conscious Commerce platform

​Thanks so much to Patagonia for hosting the event.
