Regenerative Business Canvas

A tool to distill and reframe the core components of a business model around regenerative principles.

Purpose of this tool:

This tool encourages you to summarise the core components of the idea that you are looking to bring to market. Like a normal business canvas, this canvas helps you communicate the value your proposition brings to stakeholders and investors and the resources needed to get there. Unlike a normal business canvas, however, this tool asks you to think about ‘value’ in a much more holistic way.

Why this tool is important:

This is a foundational tool that builds upon, and connects with, all the other tools in this toolkit. It asks you to expand your definition of ‘value’ from purely financial, to social, democratic and planetary; enabling you to demonstrate the potential regenerative business value of your proposition, so that you can gain buy-in and investment.

What you need to begin:

To use this tool, you first need to align on the proposition that you are exploring. You may be clear on this already, but if not then refer to your Portfolio of Ideas (tool 8 ) and use this canvas more speculatively.
