It’s a great achievement, especially because for many years, Worth was known for its annual Power 100 list that featured the most dominant and influential men and women in global finance.

After Covid, however, the list was changed to “Worthy 100Entrepreneurs” because being rich and influential isn’t enough anymore, they wanted to honor “people that prove that profit and purpose go hand in hand.

"My hope is that we can be an inspiration to rethink how products in general are designed, considering what we do with them after they’ve been used up.”

Michael Stausholm

Michael Stausholm says:

”I’m both surprised and very humble to see that I’ve been included on the list among such distinguished company. Several of the selected entrepreneurs have been my role models for many years – especially Richard Branson and the founder of Patagonia Yvon Chouinard.

Sustainability has always been close to my heart, and when I founded Sprout World in 2013, I wanted to create something that could inspire others to leave a positive impact on the planet. Our plantable pencils and makeup liners can’t save the world, but we can actually make a difference by illustrating what sustainability is about, giving used products a new life. My hope is that we can be an inspiration to rethink how products in general are designed, considering what we do with them after they’ve been used up.”
