Are Two Bottom Lines Better Than One?

For some com­pa­nies, doing good is as much a part of the cor­po­rate ethos as doing well. But does pri­or­i­tiz­ing social and envi­ron­men­tal impact along with prof­it actu­al­ly work?

Find­ing the rare uni­corn start­up that both dis­rupts an indus­try and changes the world for the bet­ter has been the mis­sion for Nan­cy Pfund of DBL Ven­tures. These dou­ble bot­tom line busi­ness­es are chang­ing the way many are think­ing about sus­tain­abil­i­ty. In this episode of the pod­cast we learn what Nan­cy val­ues in these com­pa­nies, vis­it a trans­for­ma­tive soap fac­to­ry in a strug­gling Chica­go com­mu­ni­ty, and hear from Hilary Irby, Mor­gan Stanley’s co-head of Glob­al Sus­tain­able Finance, about how this approach works and what poten­tial investors should keep in mind.
