Progress over perfection is a mindset that the sustainability movement would greatly benefit from to get more businesses and leaders on board. Lover's Tempo, a Vancouver-based, B Corp and Living Wage certified, carbon neutral jewelry company, is the perfect example of what can be accomplished with this mindset.

On this episode, host Lauren Scott is joined by the company's CEO (Elaine Kim Smith) and COO (Leslie Hoolaeff) to discuss the company's sustainability journey, including their sourcing practices, sustainable packaging, and carbon neutrality efforts. Elaine and Leslie also share their experiences with B Corp and Living Wage certifications and how they carefully select their community partner organizations. They also dive into their unique and inspiring Full Circle Artist Program, which repurposes end-of-life jewelry materials into new art pieces to promote sustainability and support local artists. Finally, the episode takes a fresh look at the surprising parallels between entrepreneurship and sustainability and how both are ongoing processes without a clear end, requiring patience, perseverance, and the ability to lean on others for support.
