Regenerative Business Strategy
Sustainability is no longer only about efficiency, it is a strategic catalyst for innovation. We help organisations unlock short-term value while building the resilience required to thrive in a low-carbon, equitable and regenerative economy.
Our strategists and organisational consultants apply systems analysis, design thinking and life-centred design to co-create resilient, interdependent and circular business models that strengthen financial performance while supporting environmental and social wellbeing.
Circularity & Regenerative Business Model Innovation
We support organisations to prepare for the profound shift reshaping global markets: a transition away from extraction and externalised costs towards circular, regenerative and equitable value creation. This work identifies efficiencies, reduces waste and unlocks innovation aligned with the emerging dynamics of the net-zero economy.
-
Legacy models optimised solely for short-term profit are becoming increasingly exposed to regulatory, market and societal pressures. Organisations that embrace sustainability as a driver of innovation gain cost savings, stronger competitiveness and greater brand relevance—positioning themselves to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
-
Using systems thinking, we reveal the interdependencies shaping your supply chain, operations and customer experience, identifying where environmental, social and economic value reinforce each other. Through life-centred design, we help reimagine value propositions that restore natural capital, strengthen stakeholder reciprocity and diversify value flows, ensuring your business is both future-fit and commercially viable.
-
We begin by analysing your current business model through a regenerative lens in order to uncover risk, inefficiency and latent potential. We then work with your teams to design circular and regenerative propositions that drive profitability with environmental and social benefit. From here, we develop investment and measurement frameworks capable of capturing multi-capital value, and support the prototyping and piloting of regenerative initiatives to test feasibility and refine the route to scale.
This enables organisations to move beyond compliance towards genuine transformation—building resilience and competitiveness through innovation that strengthens the systems upon which your business depends.
Measuring Purpose & Impact
Translating complexity into clarity through systems-based metrics and multi-capital performance.
-
Complementing the standards and certifications that Adelie offers services on we have a more expansive approach evaluating the living systems that the business live within, acknowledging that the resilience of the business depends on the health of those systems. Our approach integrates ecological, social, and cultural indicators into decision-making to reveal the full spectrum of value creation and risk.
-
We combine established frameworks such as Eco-Vadis, B Corp, and the CDP with customised systems mapping to quantify interdependencies and outcomes across natural, human, social, and financial capital. This enables leaders to prioritise interventions that restore rather than extract, and to communicate progress transparently to investors, employees, and communities.
We develop bespoke regenerative metrics linked to organisational purpose and strategy. Map value creation across multiple capitals (natural, social, human, financial). Integrate regenerative KPIs into dashboards, reporting, and management processes.
Organisational Purpose & Transformation
Enabling innovation by creating a purpose-led organisation with a culture that rewards risk taking, grounded in reciprocity, accountability, and empathy.
-
Success in a net-zero world will require new sets of rules, attenable to disruptors and those legacy businesses that are able to act decisively to change. Organisational behaviours and incentives aligned with purpose can transform how a business think and act.
-
We ground business in purpose, translating your why into strategic practices, behaviors and stories that align across levels of the organisation. Our process cultivates reciprocal culture: one that values mutual benefit, psychological safety, and interdependence across teams, stakeholders, and ecosystems. Drawing from organisational psychology, systems thinking, and regenerative leadership practices, we guide companies to articulate their deeper purpose, align incentives with that purpose, and embed it into governance, communication, and performance structures. The result is an organisation that not only meets ESG goals but also thrives through trust, creativity, and collective accountability; agile, dynamic, innovative.
-
We design culture-shaping interventions that embed empathy, integrity, long-term thinking and mutual accountability, and train leadership to shift mindsets from fear to responsibility and creativity. We implement feedback-rich team systems and psychological safety frameworks so that innovation, reflection and growth become the organisation’s muscle. We support organisational redesign toward networked, resilient structures that mirror natural and social ecosystems, reducing silos, increasing interdependence and enhancing agility.
We follow up to ensure the new systems and trainings have the desired effect with ongoing support to sustain purpose-driven decision-making and collaboration.
By strengthening culture and clarity of purpose, we help organisations unlock intrinsic motivation and resilience — enabling people and systems to thrive together.

Why Climate Action Matters
Climate action by private sector companies is crucial because they significantly contribute to global emissions and have the power to drive substantial reductions through innovation and sustainable practices.
Their leadership in addressing climate change can influence industry standards, supply chains, and consumer behaviour, creating a ripple effect across the economy.
Additionally, proactive climate strategies help companies mitigate risks, ensure long-term resilience, and capitalise on emerging opportunities in the green economy.
-
Climate change poses significant risks to our environment, economy, and society. By prioritizing climate action, businesses can mitigate adverse effects and contribute to a sustainable future. Taking steps to achieve Net Zero emissions is vital for reducing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and ensuring a stable climate.
-
Organizations that actively address climate challenges are better positioned to adapt to the changing environment. Implementing robust sustainability strategies not only reduces vulnerabilities but also fosters resilience against climate-related risks, ensuring business continuity in the face of uncertainty.
-
With increasing regulatory pressure and heightened investor scrutiny, organisations must demonstrate their commitment to climate action. Achieving Net Zero is becoming a fundamental requirement for securing investment and maintaining compliance with evolving legislation.
-
Transitioning to a Net Zero future often involves rethinking traditional practices and embracing innovative solutions. By focusing on sustainability, organizations can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and create a competitive advantage in their industry.
