“Having a company as illustrious as Barclays support us and being part of a community of like-minded CEOs and advisors, was such an amazing opportunity, and one most young companies don’t get,” she explains. Vanderlip notes her connection with Alastair Blackwell, COO for Barclays Execution Services, Risk, Finance and Treasury, as a particular highlight of the Fellowship. “The ability to sit with Alastair and get his feedback and advice on Re:Dish — in a million years, I couldn't have put that together on my own,” she says.

Helping power creative solutions for the planet by melding entrepreneurial spirit with refined corporate experience is the exact reason for Barclays’ Unreasonable Impact partnership.  “We first met Re:Dish on our 2022 Unreasonable Impact program, offering them access to resources and our powerful network across Barclays and beyond to help them rapidly scale. Less than a year on, I am delighted to see our colleagues using their reusable containers in our New York offices. Re:Dish is the latest Unreasonable Impact company to be used by Barclays to drive innovative solutions in our own operations, helping the bank on its own journey to net zero,” said Deborah Goldfarb, Barclays’ Global Head of Citizenship.
