In this episode of Pieces of Me, Janine Matos is joined by Lara Gesche, Principal of Social Impact at Zalando, for a conversation about giving back to society, contributing to community, and the role businesses can play beyond commercial success.

She explains the deep thinking behind the pillars and shares how we can get involved in all kinds of sectors.

Lara unpacks the deep thinking behind these pillars and shares how Zalando employees have the opportunity to give back in all kinds of sectors. Lara also explains her excitement about investing in the fashion and lifestyle designers of the future and creating a more responsible fashion industry.
