"I’m constantly asked, not just what better business looks like, but also how to make it happen. The Compass is a fantastic, practical approach to understanding the role your business should be playing in bringing about a healthy economy."
Tom Rippin, Founder and CEO of On Purpose
"The Compass for Regenerative Business is the antidote to our current predicament, and a path to a healthier, more hopeful, just and Regenerative future. The vision it sets out is systemic and provides a roadmap for companies - and institutions - that are willing to take sustainability to the next level, and interested in delivering transformational change."
Tracey Osborne, Founder of the Centre for Climate Justice and Academic at University of California
THE 360° METHODOLOGY FOR IMPACTFUL BUSINESS
The Compass includes more than 100 data points that will help you assess your practices and move closer to regenerative impact.
We have divided the methodology into 5 toolkits for ease of use. You can browse through the 5 principles below and download your assessment for each section.
The Compass will soon be available as an online tool allowing you to track and measure your impact virtually.
Each of the 5 sections of the Compass opens with a key question which we invite you to sit quietly with and live. Take a step back and spend as much time as you can embracing what these larger questions mean for you and your business.

REGENERATIVE AND EQUITABLE PRACTICES
Have you ever wondered about the impact potential of your business?
Businesses pass through three main developmental stages on the path to a Regenerative and Equitable economy: “Do Less Harm”, “Do No Harm”, “Restorative” and “Regenerative and Equitable”.
The fourth developmental field of “Regenerative and Equitable” is where Regenerative businesses exist, at the cutting edge. This field represents a critical shift in mindset away from previous models of business which were designed to extract resources and exploit humans.
