Sustainable impact is more than just reducing our carbon footprint. By shifting mindsets, learning from nature and repurposing our business models, businesses and employees can also make a significant social and environmental impact.

Sustainable pledges and strategies often lead with a promise to reduce – to optimise the supply chain, lower carbon footprints and downsize production. But instead of lowering our businesses' impact, why not turn a profit while restoring, rebuilding, and regenerating our people and planet?
At the 'To reduce or to restore' event, we looked at how businesses can function in a circular ecosystem. By shifting mindsets, learning from nature and repurposing our business models, businesses and employees can make a significant social and environmental impact.
Our speakers Simona Maschi and Christa Breum Amhøj spoke on how a life-centred and regenerative approach can boost companies’ impact, spark innovation, and provide a more holistic mindset about doing good business.
