ABSTRACT:

Regenerative practice is a new concept for the energy, other industries and all businesses that have practiced a form of resource extraction in one way or another for over a century. We have an unprecedented opportunity to contribute to climate change solutions and help restore the planet to conditions conducive to supporting all life. Regeneration is a natural outcome of resource stewardship and one that needs to be integrated into how we do business

Just as we, in business, strive to be more efficient in our use of time, material and energy, we must also become better stewards of the conditions that enable humans and all living things to thrive on the planet. We're crucial in the creation of a prosperous future. Regenerative practice is the key.

Concepts like the circular economy, bioeconomics, embodied carbon and biomimicry are discussed and practical examples of integration into business operations are provided. The key takeaway for this talk is that we all have a role in a regenerative future.
