The world needs more regenerative solutions. Many of us know this and would like to do more.
What we seek
We Regenerate strives to make that easier by connecting those who are offering conscientious and regenerative products with those seeking them. We think it’s important to support organizations that are trying to make the world a better place! Our directory is focused on organizations, companies and individuals who are focused on offering regenerative solutions as their main mission.
What is regenerative
What is a regenerative product or service? We’ve striven to define that in the What is Regeneration? article. There are many gradients to being truly regenerative. Some will be further along than others. For instance, if you’re selling fair trade coffee but buying mainly from monocrop farms that use chemicals and destroy soils and ecosystems, we may not be an immediate fit for you.
Making easier
We well understand that there are many challenges to becoming regenerative. This is a big reason we took this project on - to make it easier in any way that we can. One of our goals is to address the challenges that businesses, organizations and individuals are hitting up against and provide support to handle those. So even if you are just starting out on your regenerative path, while we may not list your product/services yet, we want to know what you need in order to accelerate your progress. We can list you under want where you can ask for help with products/services.
When not fully regenerative
Most of us, even if our mission is entirely focused on regeneration, are not fully regenerative. We may still use fossil fuels or plastics or other degenerative practices. We will be providing regular webinars and podcasts, as well as sharing resources others are producing to help you address those points and continue on your regenerative journey.
If you have done the work to get formal recognition of your progress toward regeneration (LEED building, certified Organic or Regenerative Ag, Fair Trade practices, renewable energy, etc), please list these!
Badges
Eventually, we will offer a peer review process and our own “badge” program for regenerative aspects that don’t have certification already. By signing with 'agree' below you indicate that you agree to the following criteria for your product or service:
- The main mission of your organization/company includes providing regenerative products or services.
- You have a program to increase the regenerative aspects of your activity and target dates.
- You are honest about what you’re offering and the degree of regenerative practice.
- You are open to evaluate changing your business practice if a more regenerative path becomes clear to you and is viable.
Application
This application process is in beta at this time. Your feedback on the process is invaluable to us which you can give us here (link to feedback form) or on the application. We will continue to improve the process.
For us, a very important part of regenerative practice is the cultivation of relationships so we look forward to your feedback!
