Serious Tissues - Expert Impact

Serious Tissues

Met with Emilie Vanpoperinghe

We drive change by getting people to change the products they buy. We plant a tree for every toilet roll we sell and by switching people to our toilet roll, we have planted 750k trees in a little over a year. Through selling our soaps products, we have recovered 100k bottles of ocean bound plastic.

An hour with Emilie was time very well spent indeed. She was hugely generous with her time, advice and insight and very happy to share her experience and wisdom from the amazing trajectory Oddbox have been on for the past few years. Not quite sure how we packed so much into an hour’s conversation!
