Climate Careers

Josh Dorfman joins the Voiz Academy students (Jackie Plein, Riana Clark) to talk about his journey as a green entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Simbly Furniture, a sustainable, american-made furniture line. He talks to us about his views on sustainable design, his advice to entrepreneurial hopefuls, and his take on the difference between his generation and that of Voiz Academy. Can a company truly put sustainability first? What would a world look like where other companies followed his model?

This speaker series episode had Rhodes Scholar Jackie Cook join the Voiz Sustainability Analysts (Ben Hillier, Zee Ayoub) to discuss the state of sustainable investing in the asset management industry. Is it real, or is it greenwashing? And what should we expect of the industry when it comes to backing stakeholders on their sustainability initiatives? Cook is the Director of Investment Stewardship Research at Morningstar Finance and gives us an inside look at balancing the risk and opportunities sustainable investments can give us.

Voiz Academy Sustainability Analysts (Elisa Zhang, Iman Ismail) are joined by Ryan Zinn to discuss his work as Organic & Fair Trade Coordinator for Dr. Bronner’s. We discuss the meaning of regenerative agriculture, his time working for NGOs, and the long history Dr. Bronner’s has written as a sustainable company. What is the value of fair trade products, and can they be accessible to all? Can regenerative agriculture mean more for companies and the earth than just soil health?

In this episode of the Voiz Academy Podcast, join Sustainability Analysts (Diego Espinosa & Eliza Zhang) in a conversation with Ryan Zinn, Dr. Bronner's Regenerative Projects Manager. Ryan shares his experiences of working with Dr. Bronner's and how he manages global regenerative projects that would make the transition from sustaining to improving regenerative agriculture by bringing soil health, fair trade, animal welfare and etc together.
