“Making a little difference in the world is important and it felt like a good fit.

Kane said the environmentally friendly element of the business opportunity was a key reason for him to invest.
OPP ensures on having zero carbon impact across any of its products.
The striker continued: "It is hard to pick the right projects to be associated with.
"You want the product to be good and to feel excited about using it and then you look at things that can make more of a difference around that.
“You also want to be a part of something that is moving forward in the future.
"And with OPP, I feel it is going to get bigger as we learn more and more about making products that are good for the environment.
“It’s not just about signing up for a product, getting paid for a year or two and walking away from it.
"I want to be involved in projects that have a bit more longevity and that’s what OPP offered me."
Kane left Spurs after 19 years at the club during the summer to Munich on a £100million deal.
He then continued to say he wanted to get his new teammates on board with his new brand.
