“We're very much about sustainability and impact. You have to be sustainable for the planet and for the people. If you're doing something that's hurting people, they won't do it, even if it saves the planet. And when you do something that's saving the planet, you're saving the people. Climate change is real, and it's fairly deadly when you get caught in heavy storms or floods. And heat is actually a killer. A lot of people die from heat related deaths per year, and it's getting worse.”
