Why Regeneration?

Because Sustainability is not enough.

The scale of today’s challenges demands a profound transformation in how we view and interact with the world. Regeneration goes beyond halting destruction or striving for neutrality—it calls for humanity to become conducive to life, reversing natural loss and fostering ecosystems' health. It encourages us to draw from the innate wisdom we have carried through generations, through processes of natural evolution, aligning human evolution with the laws of the natural world (Carvalho, 2023).

Everything in life is nested (Mang & Haggard, 2016). By shifting from acting for nature to acting as nature, regeneration embraces a holistic perspective, recognizing humanity as part of, not separate from, the larger system of life. This mindset fosters collaboration and humility, replacing reductionist and separatist thinking with a unified vision that harnesses collective strength to drive the "evolution of the whole and the system of which we are a part of" (Reed, 2007).

Businesses

Offer a new way forward

Businesses have long been powerful agents of change, but their focus on financial gain and commercial exchange has contributed to global challenges, disrupting ecosystems and value chains. To address this, businesses are now being called to leave behind the outdated "take, make, and waste" model (Fullerton, 2015) and to redefine their strategic paths toward greater prosperity for all.

The aim of regenerative businesses is to enhance and thrive through the health of social-ecological systems (SES) in a co-evolutionary process (Hahn & Tampe, 2021). By acknowledging their role within ecosystems and understanding their systemic impact, they align with natural limits, committing to the health and evolution of the living systems they are part of. This is why investing for regeneration is crucial!

Regeneration seeks to be life-enhancing in that it

‘produces the field within which the improvement of living systems can take place’.

(Mang & Reed, 2012)

Acceleration Program

Hands-on capacity building

We believe that developing the ecosystem requires supporting organizations in both management and regeneration, empowering them to grow consistently and become independent in the future. Over the course of six months, we will work side-by-side with these organizations, providing all the resources they need to structure their funding rounds and become ready for investment.

Organizations will undergo an internal growth process that will help them gain a deeper understanding of:

Their ideal portfolio;
How the lifecycle of their products delivers value to the ecosystem as a whole;
How to monetize their social and environmental solutions to increase revenues;
How to establish the appropriate governance model;
How to manage their organization on the path to financial autonomy;
How to determine the right amount of investment to seek;

This process becomes visible to all when organizations join the digital showcase. The process becomes visible to the ecosystem, especially to aligned investors, when the seal is a testament to their rigorous scrutiny and development, making it easier for them to secure investment.
