Abstract

The article discusses the concept of regenerative business practices, which aim to improve ecosystems and communities rather than just minimizing harm to them. The need for regeneration is emphasized due to the significant degradation already experienced in various areas. However, there are different definitions and approaches to regeneration, making it important for companies, suppliers, and consumers to understand what meaningful regeneration practice looks like. The article explores the use of certifications and frameworks to ensure that organizations are adopting truly regenerative strategies and practices. It also provides guiding questions for business leaders to consider when choosing certifications. The goal is to move towards a "movement of movements" where different certifications fit together to create a regenerative future. [Extracted from the article]
