Manjit offers her insight as a Dragon from CBC’s Dragon’s Den and discusses what she looks for before she considers investing. Also what stands out for her as a consumer, and how she has seen the retail space change over the years. We discuss the increasing importance of environmental, social and governance policies and what they mean to both retailers and customers.
