We start this conversation reflecting on the question \u201cwhere are you from\u201d?
\n
\nIf you are a global citizen, you will be able to relate to Tessa\u2019s response.
\n
\nTessa Wernink was born in Hong Kong, moved to the Netherlands when she was 10, and has lived in various other Asian countries over the years. She is a social entrepreneur and business activist, facilitator and podcast maker who is addressing social and environmental issues in business.
\n
\nWe then go on to talk about how a phone can be built and made fairly. And what that means.
\n
\nTessa talks about Fairphone, the only European phone today, that she co-founded at the start of her activist journey.
\n
\nAfter Fairphone Tessa then started to ask how businesses can be more humane and a force for good.
\n
\nWe talk about the Undercover Activist which she then founded.
\n
\nHow people can be more of an activist in the way they work. How they can accelerate projects around social and environmental issues.
\n
\nAnd we learn how you can nurture more of an activist culture at a company, turning from theory and great ideas to action.
\n
\nWe reflect on culture, customs, and change.
\n
\nAnd then talk about interesting social businesses around the world ranging from environmentally friendly cars, how to approach death undertaking from a more sustainable and ethical point of view, and then an entrepreneur in Hong Kong that is creating fish from a lab.
\n
\nTessa finishes on the concept of active hope. Which is such a great way to finish this episode, and this year\u2019s series of the TIE Unearthed Podcast.
\n
\nLet\u2019s celebrate action. So grab that favourite beverage or throw on those running shoes, and get inspired with Tessa.
