Innovation with Purpose: Kurt Avery of Sawyer Products On The World’s Most Successful Purpose-Driven Business Models

Intoday’s business landscape, companies that integrate purpose into their core strategy are gaining significant traction. These businesses go beyond profit to create positive social and environmental impact, proving that doing good and doing well can go hand in hand. What are the key elements of these successful purpose-driven business models, and what can other companies learn from them? I had the pleasure of interviewing Kurt Avery, founder, owner, and president of Sawyer Products.
