Course overview
This 15-week cohort programme takes you through the full process of analysing, redesigning, and implementing a regenerative business model. You work with your own organization or business throughout — applying each framework in real time with peer feedback and expert support.
Regenerative business goes beyond sustainability. Where sustainable business asks "how do we do less harm?", regenerative asks "how do we actively restore and replenish — workers, communities, ecosystems, future generations?" The answer requires redesigning the whole system.
Regenerate, don't extract
Building enterprises that give back more than they take
Worker dignity
Ownership, governance, and care as core design elements
Place & ecology
Genuine relationships with land and the non-human world
Patient capital
Financing that serves mission, not the other way around
Distributed governance
Power-sharing that encodes values in structure
Long-horizon thinking
Responsibility to future generations built into decisions
Design business models and organizational systems that regenerate rather than extract — building enterprises that replenish relationships, resources, and ecosystems.
"Regenerative business is not a niche. It is the only business model compatible with a liveable future."— YFE Studios, Regenerative Business Models
