Transforming Our Planet with High-End Sustainable Furniture, Social Entrepreneurship, Responsible Consumerism, Environmental Action, Zero Hunger and Bespoke Designs with Marie Cudennac, Co-Founder of Goldfinger (episode #12)

Following her determination for achieving responsible consumption and production, design and sustainability pioneer Marie Cudennec co-founded Goldfinger Design. This award-winning social enterprise proves that high-end design can and should be positive for the planet and people. Marie’s fascinating journey began in rural Hong Kong. Surrounded by waste and pollution, she first realised her passion for nature and the importance of protecting it. Marie combined the principles and practices garnered from her time at Harvard Business School with her deep passion for sustainability and created Goldfinger. In 2020, Marie was awarded the NatWest Everywoman Award in recognition of her positive impact on her industry and community, and her passion and vision for sustainable business are inspiring to behold. Goldfinger offers bespoke, sustainable furniture as well as the Goldfinger Acadamy, which provides marginalised young minds the opportunity to learn business skills and the art of woodcraft to protect our earth.  Goldfinger also fights food waste and social isolation in collaboration with People’s Kitchen, where three Sundays a month, they cook and deliver meals to vulnerable residents in the local community. 

In this episode, we talk about Marie’s inspiring journey leading her to establish Goldfinger and Marie’s personal practices enabling her to live consciously and healthily. We also discuss why sustainability is so important, not only from an environmental perspective but a social one too, as well as the variety of products that Goldfinger has to offer, the positive impact they have on their local community and much more!
