GOING BEYOND
SUSTAINABILITY
Companies often approach corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability in varied ways, each with its limitations.
Some firms use CSR primarily for communication, isolating initiatives in silos without addressing overall impacts.
Others focus on incremental changes using sustainability to reduce negative impacts like emissions and waste, but these efforts fall short in situations of ecological overshoot.
More advanced companies aim for net positive impacts by replenishing and repairing systems, yet they often overlook root causes such as over-consumption and shareholder models that perpetuate inequalities.
The most progressive companies adopt a regenerative and equitable approach, operating with a living systems mindset and a climate justice lens. These firms work to restore ecosystems, create shared value, and address systemic inequalities by transferring power, thereby fostering a more holistic and impactful sustainability strategy.
