TODAY'S EPISODE

Would you prefer having a social impact or a sustainable environmental impact on the world?

Well, do you know it's possible to achieve both?!

In this episode, I have the chance to talk to Wietse Van Der Werf, CEO and founder of Sea Ranger Service.

Sea Ranger Service is a social enterprise with a mission to restore 1 million hectares of ocean biodiversity by 2040, whilst training 20,000 young people towards a maritime career.

When the common advice for entrepreneurs is to focus on one product only, Wietse developed successfully three products / services with his social enterprise: from marine research services to offering a bootcamp to train people for a new career, and also the construction and design of a new ship certified in the industry with a zero-emission specification.

For this episode, Wietse prepared a list of very hands-on tips about

💡how to create a company with a social and environmental impact!💡
