Daniel also describes dealing with the highly competitive incumbent players they encountered when entering the baby care market. We also review the decisions that lead to exiting the food business and the potential for a return to the water market using recycled PET bottles.\n\rWe then move on to Thankyou's certification as a carbon neutral organisation, the difficulty in tracing its supply lines and the business goals that drive operations. This leads to a discussion on the issues encountered trying to scale Thankyou's original model to meet the vision, resulting in the \"No Small Plan\" campaign.\n\rThe episode wraps with a review of lessons learned to date with the campaign, the gap between what consumers say they want compared with what they actually do, and the acknowledgement that creating change is not easy but it matters.\n\rThis episode has been brought to you by SMC.
