#220 - The Family-Owned Company Fighting Climate Change By Achieving Net Zero Emissions By 2030, with Rebecca Hamilton, Co-CEO of Badger [REPOST]

Product manufacturers use a lot of chemicals that are harmful to the environment. But one family-owned business has a mission to reduce its product impact on the environment. Can they continuously create a product that would generate good for both people and the environment?

In celebration of Earth Month, we are resurrecting some climate crusading episodes from the archives. Today we're revisiting this episode with Rebecca Hamilton of Badger Balm from September, 2020.

Rebecca Hamilton is the second-generation owner and Co-CEO (Co-Collaborative Executive Officer) at Badger Balm. Badger is a family-owned company of natural and organic personal care products known for its mission-driven spirit, pioneering family-friendly benefits, and high engagement in the certified B Corp community, being themselves a certified B Corp since 2019.

In this episode, Cory and Rebecca discuss Badger Balm's climate initiatives to be a sustainable business while reducing their impact on the environment. They explore the environmental commitment the family-owned company has made, especially with their partnership with Revision Energy, and their commitment to being Net Zero emissions by 2030.

During the conversation, Rebecca shares the significance of Badger being a family-owned company, her relationship with her sister as the Co-CEO, her family, and the entire Badger team. She highlights Badger as a values-driven business that comes from having core leadership from their tight bonded family.
