Bobby Jones
Keynote Speaker | Co- Founder of GOOD IS THE NEW COOL, Conspiracy of Love and RIVET
Dear friends,
This week, we had the pleasure to catch up with Dimitri Fleitman, Head of the Supply Chain & Strategy for Dole Packaged Foods Canada, to find out how Dole is creating a zero waste supply chain that not only saved money and cut down on emissions - but diverted 300,000 pounds of food to homeless charities, serving 1 million meals. It's an idea we love, and one that we hope more companies embrace.
Enjoy the read!
Be kind, be good, and look after each other,
Afdhel and Bobby
