Regenerative Business Models

What is changing in the results your business must deliver next year, in five or even ten years’ time, because of the imperative for regenerative business? How are the risks changing? 

Because of that, what is changing for you in your role; what different results must you deliver, what different risks will you face, and what must you do now to prepare?

It is now clear that our global economy must become regenerative; we must get to net zero, and then keep going to net positive, if we want a better future for our children, and for our older selves. We must do this faster than the degradation processes we have unleashed over the past century; we are already two years too slow in hitting the needed emissions peak, we must catch up and deliver a 43% emissions reduction by 2030 to have any hope. 

Business is the most powerful institution on the planet today, and so must and will take a leading role in rebuilding towards regeneration. This means every business will become regenerative, or it will have its Kodak moment and fade into irrelevance.

And to reach sustainability and beyond, every business must deliver the transformation at the right speed while maintaining business health throughout the transformation.

How? Having high, systemic (not transactional) trust between all stakeholders is the key to unlocking the transformation to a regenerative business. Contracts can only deliver transactional trust. So what else is there?
