One Goal At A Time - Karex

Goh Miah Kiat, CEO of Karex

One Goal At A Time - Karex

As the world’s largest condom manufacturer, Karex has a lot of responsibilities. Not only do they have to ensure that the product they sell is safe, but they also have to make sure that whilst that product is being manufactured, it is being done so in a way that has a low environmental impact. How does a manufacturing company whose major component is rubber maintain sustainable practices? And what might the future hold for such a company? On our first episode of One Goal At A Time we speak with the CEO of Karex, Goh Miah Kiat, about their sustainability practices, their environmentally aware company culture, and how important it is to work with local communities to raise awareness on health.
