Impact Unearthed ?? A New Era of Business
Greenheart
We are a full service social & environmental impact consultancy, helping businesses to go beyond sustainability-as-usual
We've been banging on about regenerative economics for years now: there's a beautiful, simple common sense to the idea that we need to give back more than we take in order to provide for future generations. Nature, as you'll have heard us say ad nauseam, has been doing it successfully for billions of years.?In simple financial (profit and loss) terms it's such an easy concept: losing money (or living outside the planet's ability to support us) = bad. Breakeven (sustainable) = better. Profitable (regenerative) - adding value back into the account to ensure resilience in future times of turbulence or fast growth = best. Why has it taken so long for us to apply this to the way business sees its relationship with society and the environment??
?This logic was applied this month by EY, not an organisation known for its tree-hugging tendencies, who published a detailed paper on the benefits of a regenerative approach to business. In our lead story this month we pick up on that report and applaud the fact that it's firmly in the mainstream narrative.?
We've also taken a look at some of the more interesting strategies our clients have employed to engage staff on issues of impact and build inclusive purpose-first cultures within their organisations.?
If you haven't already hit the beach for the summer break, I hope you enjoy what we've put together for you and that you do get a well deserved rest at some stage!
