Gear:30

For this week’s edition of GEAR:30, Scarpa North America’s CEO, Kim Miller, is back to talk about Scarpa’s Green Manifesto and their pathway to B Corp certification. Kim and Kara Williard discuss what measuring and accounting for progress looks like; the tricky balance of sustainably innovating without compromising performance; the process of recycling products and materials; assessing the life cycle of various products; and some of the gear that best exemplifies Scarpa’s commitment to these values (starting with a tele boot back in 2009!).TOPICS & TIMESKim’s Career & Values (4:03)Scarpa’s Business Culture (12:144)Transparency & Accountability (13:18)Measurements & Metrics (16:59)Life Cycle Analysis of Gear (33:52)Service vs. Profit (38:23)Working Together as an Industry (44:21)Gear & the Green Manifesto (45:33)A Sense of Urgency (51:40)All Pillars of Sustainability (55:49)Scarpa as a B Corp (1:02:25)Leading with Passion (1:13:16)Kim’s Crashes & Close Calls Story (1:18:16)What We’re Ce
