There's an inherent problem with much of traditional retail: The more you sell, the more you waste, especially when it comes to beauty, wellness and home items packaged in single-use plastic. In this episode for business hub Retail Rx, Fairchild Studio Director Lauren Parker chats with Jeff Yurcisin, CEO of Grove Collaborative. This purpose-driven retailer has a unique mission: it not only sells eco-friendly items, but under its Beyond Plastic initiative, for every order sold containing single-use plastic, the company scoops up that ocean-bound plastic equivalent from the environment.

In this episode of the Climate Careers podcast by Voiz Academy, we're joined by Ryan Zimmerman, Director of Communications and Partnerships at Grove Collaborative. After spending over a decade at Edelman, Ryan pivoted his career to focus on sustainability, aligning with a brand that champions environmental causes through innovative products, marketing, and partnerships.

Grove Collaborative thinks it has found the way to become the Chewy of sustainable home products. The company has been around since 2012 but has gone through many iterations. For years, it was focused on being a subscription service that delivered curated baskets of its products -- such as paper towels and soaps -- to people's homes. It has tested out private labels as well as wholesale partnerships in stores like Target. The company went public via SPAC in 2022 and has faced some difficult terrain -- including a delisting threat. Last year, Amazon veteran Jeff Yurcisin joined as CEO. His focus has been getting the company on a solid footing. "The goal was profitable growth," he said on the Modern Retail Podcast. "But we felt like we had to start with profitability." For the last four months, Grove has reported positive adjusted EBITDA. Similarly, the company announced a recent investment to help it pay down its debt load. Still, at its most recent earnings, it posted a net loss of $10.1 million. According to Yurcisin, these are the initial steps to get the company to become an online leader in natural and sustainable household products. He spoke about how he's been approaching this transformation and what's on the horizon. The first big change implemented as getting rid of mandatory subscriptions. "from my point of view, I wanted to enable subscription but I wanted to create an incentive for customers to subscribe -- not to force them to subscribe," he said. Similarly, Grove has focused on operational changes to streamline its business. It focused on improving its customer experience to make checkout more seamless as well as paying down its debt. It has also been refocusing its tech stack, which has included moving onto Shopify. According to Yurcisin, these changes are now beginning to pay off. The focus now, he said, is adding more customers to the fold so Grove can reach its potential. "We believe it's a 57 million-person addressable market in the United States," he said.

On this week's Modern Retail Rundown, the editorial team starts by discussing a new lawsuit filed by American Eagle against Amazon, in which the retailer alleges that counterfeit versions of its Aerie products are being listed on Amazon. Meanwhile, publicly traded e-commerce startups Grove Collaborative and Stitch Fix have provided updates on their latest progress in narrowing losses and becoming profitable.

This week, I welcomed Heather White on my show to discuss the impacts of climate change on mental health and share actionable advice for living more sustainably. In addition to having decades of experience in environmental advocacy, Heather is also a mom of two and is driven by her own children's deep concern about the future. She shared a staggering statistic from a recent global study of 10,000 young people (ages 16-25): 47% of respondents said climate anxiety interfered with their daily life.  Though it's easy to feel overwhelmed, Heather's goal is to empower individuals to take meaningful and joyful daily actions to ease eco-anxiety. Drawing from her wealth of experience, she shares actionable advice aimed at fostering a more eco-conscious and health-oriented lifestyle. We explore a range of topics, from the importance of deciphering product labels to practical strategies for reducing food waste. Heather underscores the significance of everyday choices, whether it's opting for safer personal care products, environmentally-friendly cleaning agents, or embracing sustainable fashion. Heather White is an author, speaker, consultant, and expert in environmental health, green living, and eco-anxiety, the mental health impacts of the climate crisis. She is also founder of the nonprofit OneGreenThing.org. White's two decades of experience include serving as presidential campaign staffer to Al Gore, as the environmental counsel to a US senator, and as the executive director to three national environmental nonprofits, including EWG (Environmental Working Group). Her new book, 60 Days to a Greener Life, will be released nationwide next Tuesday, April 9th.  Tune in as we discuss practical ways of easing eco-anxiety and discover the power that small, daily actions can have in building a more sustainable future. 00:00 Meet Heather White: A Champion for Environmental Health 00:39 Heather White's Journey 01:25 The Importance of Eco-Friendly Products 03:18 Navigating the World of Safe Products 10:51 Eco Anxiety 15:45 Empowering Actions Against Climate Change 18:24 The Power of Individual Actions 23:50 Progress Over Perfection 24:14 The Power of Whole Foods 25:36 Introducing 'One Green Thing' and '60 Days to a Greener Life' 27:47 Tackling Sustainable Fashion 30:52 Indoor Air Quality 36:15 Affordable and Practical Steps Towards Sustainability 38:59 Embracing a Sustainable Lifestyle  42:32 Starting Small: Practical Tips 46:47 Final Takeaways Resources Mentioned Environmental Working Group (EWG) - https://www.ewg.org/ Think Dirty app - https://www.thinkdirtyapp.com/ Made Safe certification - https://madesafe.org/ Consumer Reports - https://www.consumerreports.org/ EWG's Healthy Living app - https://www.ewg.org/apps/ Dr. Bronner's soap - https://www.drbronner.com/ Beauty Counter - https://www.beautycounter.com/ Grove Collaborative - https://www.grove.co/ True Botanicals - https://truebotanicals.com/ Well People - https://www.wellpeople.com/ Branch Basics - https://branchbasics.com/ One Green Thing Book - https://www.amazon.com/One-Green-Thing-Discover-Hidden/dp/0785291296 60 Days to a Greener Life - https://www.amazon.com/60-Days-Greener-Life-Eco-Anxiety/dp/B0CB1WV8NT Green Guard certification - https://greenguard.org/ Sustainable Furnishings Council - https://sustainablefurnishings.org/ Connect with Heather White Website: https://www.heatherwhite.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heatherwhiteofficial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heatherwhiteofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherbwhite/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/heatherwhiteofc Connect with Amy Myers, MD Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AmyMyersMD/featured Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD

Since he was a grade-schooler, Stu Landesberg dreamed–as odd as it sounds–of starting a sustainable home-products company. When he founded it, in 2012, he called it ePantry, and it didn't exactly soar. Investors were lukewarm–and customers hard to come by. But with a rebrand and reshaped strategy in 2016, Grove Collaborative started finding lots of eco-minded consumers online and over social media. This year, as the San Francisco-based company turned 10 years old, it was valued at $1.5 billion. In June, it went public with help from a Richard Branson-backed SPAC. Host Christine Lagorio-Chafkin speaks with Landesberg about his journey, from struggling to keep the lights on to running a public company with hundreds of employees–and his promise to the future to be entirely plastic-free by 2025.

Founder and CEO of Grove Collaborative, Stu Landesberg, says, “... sometimes people say being early is the same as being wrong, I believe being early is the same as having a head start.” This mantra has been fully embodied by the commendable work of sustainable Home Care brand, Grove Collaborative.From humble beginnings in a 900-square-foot storage facility, the company is now the leader in sustainable CPG products and had a 1.5 Billion Dollar IPO. How did they do this? By staying true to their mission to change the CPG category in a way that positively impacts human and environmental health. Beyond its mission, Grove Collaborative also prides itself on offering effective products that inspire consumer loyalty. Stu discusses the brand's “zero waste, zero plastic” outlook which has made consumers want to take a chance on them and stick with their products since the company started in 2012. He advises up-and-coming disruptor brands to similarly, stand for something different and worthwhile when compared to competitors. He emphasizes that trust and authenticity is essential when it comes to inspiring consumers to purchase products both online and in stores. On a company level, Stu also speaks to long-term team building while rapidly scaling a company. He mentions that great employees want to work for a company with a great mission. Key Takeaways:● Being a brand focused on making a positive impact will help you stand out compared to competitors● When you find a process that works keep doing it, just more, in order to scale● Having a long-term view on building a great team makes your brand resilient Hosted on Acast.

These early defining experiences helped her launch a cooking website, itsactuallyspicy.com, and a YouTube channel with the same name to showcase her culinary skills. On these platforms, you can find recipes crafted by Maryam and her husband, Nabeel, including the Nihari Pizza, a community favorite. Maryam's work has been profiled in top media outlets, including Southern Living Magazine, The Dallas Morning News, Hello Pakistan, and more. Some of her brand partners include Albertsons, Nordstrom, HerbalEssence, Aveeno, Grove Collaborative, and Dose & Co. Product developer is also one of the many titles she holds. Maryam illustrated a book series for children, The English Meets Urdu, available online via Anchor and Oak Publishing. As an immigrant, she wanted to create stories that make it easy for parents to teach Urdu to their children. She also produces a timeless accessory drop in collaboration with Jewels By Sunaina. In this episode, hosts Qianna Smith Bruneteau and Karston Tannis talk with Maryam about motherhood, sharing seasons of her life with her community, managing creator burnout, sharing traditions through food, and where she sees her career heading —and yes, it includes a cookbook and starting her own café!

Stu Landesberg, The co-founder and CEO of Grove Collaborative, describes why he has gratitude for his job and puts positive energy into everything that he does.

Since he was a grade-schooler, Stu Landesberg dreamed–as odd as it sounds–of starting a sustainable home-products company. When he founded it, in 2012, he called it ePantry, and it didn't exactly soar. Investors were lukewarm–and customers hard to come by. But with a rebrand and reshaped strategy in 2016, Grove Collaborative started finding lots of eco-minded consumers online and over social media. This year, as the San Francisco-based company turned 10 years old, it was valued at $1.5 billion. In June, it went public with help from a Richard Branson-backed SPAC. Host Christine Lagorio-Chafkin speaks with Landesberg about his journey, from struggling to keep the lights on to running a public company with hundreds of employees–and his promise to the future to be entirely plastic-free by 2025.

Ukraine and Russia met again for negotiations, but on Vladmir Putin's list of demands was a desire for Ukraine to demilitarize. Sounds like Putin hasn't quite learned the art of negotiating just yet.
