From tech company to nonprofit to VC fund, Jonathan Azoff, Co-Founder and General Partner at SNOCAP, has had a fascinating journey into the world of social impact. SNOCAP is a fund that invests in platforms that directly and indirectly solve the climate crisis, which Jonathan and his colleagues launched after having a powerful experience at one of the food world’s most dynamic nonprofit incubators.

In this episode, Jonathan explains why he thinks the term “climate tech” will soon become a thing of the past.  He also touches on how we can look upstream at corporate supply chains to make more sustainable business decisions.

It’s always a plus when we get to power chat with an old friend -- we know you’ll enjoy this week’s conversation with the tour de force that is Elyse Cohen as much as we did. As the VP of Social Impact and Inclusion at Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty, Elyse and her team are serious about addressing mental health, and are a perfect illustration of what we call the “philanthropy plus” approach. Whether through brand and thought leadership, or advocacy and giving, they utilize 100% of the tools at their disposal to create impact on this critical issue.  

Elyse also shares a valuable take on how a GenZ audience can help a brand go deeper on impact, and how Rare Beauty is redefining self-acceptance (which is amazing when you think about the beauty brands of yesteryear).

Christina Beckman, Senior Manager of Environmental Social Governance (ESG) at Culligan International, discusses the company's commitment to sustainability, with a focus on water filtration and softening. 

Christina advises how best to establish a corporate social impact program, emphasizing the importance of first going on a listening tour within the organization. Christina makes the case that ESG programs should be #communityfirst by aligning company resources with the actual needs of the populations they serve.

This episode concludes with a look into the future of #socialimpact, in which Christina anticipates the growing influence of regulations, especially in areas like financial data and carbon emissions. Rather than conceptualizing these increased regulations as a business burden, she imagines they will actually bolster the support and justification of CSR initiatives.
