Ryan Kohn: From Popcorn to Climate

from The Impact Equation

Ryan Kohn has spent the last decade answering a challenge that stumps most founders: how do you scale a massive consumer brand while leaving the planet better than you found it. As the co-founder of PROPER, he took a kitchen-table startup and built it into Europe’s largest independent healthy snacking group. But alongside selling millions of packs across 15 countries, he embedded a deep commitment to the environment into the company’s DNA. Now, Ryan is turning his hand to climate philanthropy at scale, pioneering a new initiative called Point One to help reach more people to take responsibility for our world.  Hosted on Acast.
