Below are two excerpts from the episode. 

Describing Planet FWD's mission Julia said, "Our mission is to help brands bring planet-friendly products to market by helping them deeply understand their carbon footprint and then putting them on a path to carbon neutrality. To facilitate this carbon light approach, we provide access to the data and information that brands may otherwise lack in making supply chain and go-to-market decisions. We also work to connect our brand partners with suppliers that we have independently verified across various measures of sustainability."

Highlighting the company's go-to-market approach Julia said, "We have developed a carbon modeling software tool that can be applied to numerous industries from food to fashion, though food remains our initial industry of focus. To demonstrate the feasibility of making sustainability a core part of the value proposition of a consumer brand, we built our own brand called Moonshot to be the first explicitly climate-friendly product in the snack category. Ultimately, our mission is to serve all brands in the consumables space."
