Our journey started when we realized the enormous and untapped potential of sustainability science built on an understanding that people and planet are intertwined in social-ecological systems. That this was the detailed map to understand and navigate through complex, global problems.
This thinking has provided a new perspective on what it means to do business in a world where humanity is the largest driver of climate and environmental problems. Humans are in the driving seat. Even more importantly, this social-ecological map can help us support businesses to find the pathways to a sustainable future and be part of the team securing our planet as a safe and resilient home for future generations.
The world of business holds great responsibility and opportunity to drive the transformation of what and how we produce, consume and experience in our everyday lives. Although there is broad consensus across business landscapes around the urgency of innovating towards a sustainable future, available processes are slow and tools are inadequate.
The radical shifts needed demand new levels of speed, accuracy, scale and collaboration. To accomplish systems change, we need to move from hyper-competition and individual performance to collective intelligence, sensemaking and hyper-collaboration.
