In this episode, Kiarne chats with Sam Todaro, the Founder and Managing Director of Underworks and unpacks the multiple pillars of sustainability that need to be addressed in manufacturing and retail. Sam talks about the moment he knew sustainability was the most important next challenge and the ways in which sustainability is addressed at Underworks.



Sam shares the importance of maintaining the integrity and price point of products that customers know and love,  whilst innovating with more sustainable fibres, removing plastics and improving recyclability across the board. Plus we hear how even a sock company can use its position of privilege to make a positive social impact through the I Give A Sock initiative.
