In this episode of Circular Hot Takes, we turn to regeneration. What does it actually mean for a business to be regenerative — and does every company need to become one? We move beyond regenerative agriculture and explore what regeneration can mean for ecosystems, communities, employees, finance and the resources businesses depend on. We discuss regenerative finance, place-based responsibility, investing in ecosystems rather than individual firms, and why regeneration may make straightforward business sense when companies rely on healthy soils, communities, skills, water, biodiversity or other resources over time. We also ask whether the regenerative agenda risks setting the bar too high. The answer may be more pragmatic than it sounds: businesses do not have to regenerate everything at once, but they can start with concrete strategies, learn from others and gradually leave the systems they depend on in better shape than they found them.
