About this episode

My guest this week is May Al-Karooni, the founder of Globechain an ESG, Environmental, Social, and Governance Reuse Marketplace connecting corporates with charities, small businesses and individuals. They enable companies to reuse materials and assets to help them reduce their waste, carbon and improve their ESG data evidence of sustainability. 
 
After seeing the Bank she was working for dispose of furniture, she decided to get into waste. She founded Globechain to contribute to the re-use revolution, circular economy and ESG marketplace. They help divert a huge amount of waste. Her vision for the future is to encourage other leaders to adopt & drive forward the circular economy and embracing ‘waste not want not’.

Thank you so much May for creating an online marketplace that helps us to be part of the circular economy and be able to hand on items that we no longer have use for, or buy pre-used when we need something that we don’t already have.

Thanks also for showing us how to be more sustainable in the stuff we get rid of or bring into our lives, as individuals or businesses, and help us in our efforts towards climate solutions.
