Portraits Of Purpose Podcast Ep 1: Boxgreen - a profitable business nuts about doing good?
06:58 mins
Synopsis: This is the first episode of The Straits Times' Portraits Of Purpose podcast series brought to you by DBS Bank. In this series, we speak to social entrepreneurs making a difference. Nothing shines brighter in the midst of adversity than light born of hope, courage, perseverance and generosity.
We feature Mr Walter Oh, co-founder of healthy snacks company Boxgreen, a certified B Corporation which uses business as a force for good. He tells us about his journey of discovery as he left a high four-figure salary in the corporate world in 2014, to start his own business.
- Did Walter sense an entrepreneurial streak deep within, from an early age? (0:52)
- How was the idea for an online company that delivers healthy snacks to customers' doorsteps, born? (2:08)
- How his parents reacted to his decision to become an entrepreneur? (2:47)
- How the company's original three "auntie" packers have now also become shareholders? (3:50)
- Why the motto "Snack good, do good"? (4:39)
