Our Approach

Our vision is of a Regenerative Economy where people can thrive while respecting social and planetary boundaries

WHY ?

The Linear Economy and fossil fuel-based consumption are largely linked to global warming and several other significant negative impacts.

Kate Raworth created Doughnut Economics to guide us towards an economy where humanity can thrive in an environmentally safe and socially just space between social and planetary boundaries.

To remain in this environmentally safe and socially just space, a new economic model is needed, one that moves away from the Linear Economy to one that is Regenerative.
