Growing More Good with ScottsMiracle-Gro

Host:
Panelists:

No one wakes up on a Saturday morning eager to purchase garden and lawn control products, and ScottsMiracle-Gro knows that. Consumers buy these products to use on something that they enjoy — their vegetable garden, their flowers, or the lawn their kids play on.

That’s why ScottsMiracle-Gro’s purpose is to bring goodness to every person and every patch of the Earth. This applies to the next generations of gardeners, too: ScottsMiracle-Gro is encouraging childrens’ love for the outdoors through gardening programs in an effort to nurture future stewards of the environment.

Jim King, EVP and CCO of ScottsMiracle-Gro, has returned to Purpose 360 to share an update on the company’s purpose commitment, GroMoreGood.

Listen for insights from Jim on:

  • How ScottsMiracle-Gro makes purpose “sticky” to engage employees, connect with consumers, and support future stakeholders.
  • Why organizations require executive leader buy-in and commitment to live their purpose.
  • How employee engagement and storytelling drive authenticity and trust in purpose.
  • If you can’t live and be your purpose, then you should move on from it.
