    Regenerative Strategy Explained

    What does it mean for a business to move beyond sustainability and into regeneration? In this episode of The Responsible Edge, consultant and Overstory Earth co founder Zoe Duvall breaks down the shift with clarity and grounded experience. Zoe explains why many organisations are discovering that traditional sustainability is not enough for the world they now operate in. Regenerative systems thinking looks at entire systems. Soil, energy, housing, food, finance and community wellbeing are treated as connected rather than separate. As she puts it, these are all “linked” systems that shape whether an organisation can thrive. We also explore Zoe’s own journey. She reflects on losing her father, a “serial entrepreneur,” and how his early death shaped her understanding of ambition and health. She shares the six months she spent travelling in a campervan after a health scare and how it taught her to be “more in tune with my body.” Key topics include: • What regenerative thinking adds beyond sustainability • Insights from Hannah Pathak’s Economist Impact article • Lessons from PCRAM and cross sector collaboration • Why agriculture offers clear evidence of regenerative value • How short term incentives block long term resilience • Why founders are creating new support networks • The “future goggles” Zoe wishes leaders could wear Zoe’s message is simple. Regeneration is not abstract. The tools already exist and the need is immediate.

    How to Decarbonise Fashion Supply Chains

    Can fashion supply chains cut emissions at scale while keeping factories competitive. In this episode of The Responsible Edge, Charlie speaks with Jamie Rusby, co founder of Generation One and former sustainability leader at IKEA and VELUX. Jamie shares the reality facing many manufacturers in Bangladesh and Nepal. Some borrow at high rates and operate with narrow margins. These conditions make long term investment difficult. As he explains, “These companies have many priorities… so it needs structure for it to move.” The conversation explores how Generation One supports rooftop solar and energy efficiency projects through planning tools, local delivery partners and impact finance that removes the need for upfront capital. The aim is to create repeatable projects that deliver savings for factories and help brands reduce emissions across their supply chains. In this episode you will learn: • How factory conditions shape climate decisions • Why access to capital is a major barrier • How long term programs strengthen trust between brands and suppliers • What IKEA and VELUX taught Jamie about building momentum • Why programmatic finance depends on collaboration as much as money • How a practical model can turn climate ambition into operational change Watch to see how determination, structure and shared incentives can help the fashion industry decarbonise at speed. #Sustainability #SupplyChains #EnergyTransition #EthicalBusiness #ResponsibleLeadership #RealZero
