Cascale, formerly known as the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, has launched a new podcast series, Source of Good, which will seek to spotlight inspiring stories and businesses that are seeking to drive positive change.
Each episode of the podcast will feature an interview with a manufacturer or brand, which will highlight highlights how companies use data and insights from Cascale’s Higg Index to make informed decisions that promote sustainability and social responsibility.
Engage audiences
“As sustainability becomes more urgent, it’s vital for Cascale to engage audiences in new, dynamic ways,” commented Lee Green, Cascale senior director of marketing and communications.
“The Source of Good podcast provides an opportunity to tell the real stories behind the data—showcasing how brands and suppliers are working together to make lasting, positive changes in the supply chain. This podcast allows us to connect with a diverse group of listeners and share insights that are transforming the industry. Our goal is to show that sustainability isn’t just an ideal but a practical, scalable reality.”
The first episode of the podcast featured Rick Ridgeway (pictured), outdoor adventurer, writer, and Cascale co-founder, with 10 episodes set to be released bi-weekly between now and February 2025.
“This podcast provides rare insight into supply chain inflection points where more sustainable choices can and must be made,” Ridgeway commented.
Future episodes
Guests set to be featured include guests include Sarbajit Ghose, Asia Executive Director at Ciel Textiles; Orsolya Janossy, Senior Sustainability Manager at Recover Fiber; Gabriel Mens, Sustainability Manager at Brooks Running; Thomas Matiz, Product Sustainability Specialist at Lenzing Group; and Susan Scow, Sustainability Impact Specialist at Eileen Fisher.
Cascale previously piloted a three-episode podcast entitled Drivers of Change in 2023. Source of Good is produced by Hueman Group Media, a media company focused on social change. The podcast is hosted by Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff, Cascale’s communications director and a former journalist. Listen here.
