The Regenerative Economy

Throughout this connected series, we will utilize targeted programs, events, and strategic initiatives to harness the power of business as a force for good, to hasten a changing narrative in the direction of regenerative principles, in place of the acceptance of degenerative ones. Read the official press release here.

Join us in conversations and opportunities to learn and apply regenerative principles in business, social innovation, and our way of living to consider what we value, how we work, and what change we are working to enact. Check out all of this year's event resources on the Regenerative Economy Resource Page.
