The Deep Green Profit approach
DEEP: because we’re talking strategy and innovation, not window dressing
GREEN: because well-executed business strategies that regenerate ecosystems build MORE profits
PROFIT: because cleaner, smarter and safer is good for the bottom line

Once upon a time, sustainability was a business compliance cost
But times have changed…
The first ever analysis quantifying the top evidence-based, commercial, no-government-requires solutions to global warming (Project Drawdown – 2017) quantified global savings of $74 trillion?!?!
The Drawdown analysis lists 80 proven strategies for accelerating the shift to:
…an economy that consumes greenhouse gases and restores ecosystems
Separate research into the UN Sustainable Development Goals estimated $12 trillion in private sector opportunity by 2030.
When you break down these global numbers by industry, region and business size, it turns out that there’s a whole heap of opportunity waiting to be developed by businesses of all sizes.
Yet talk to most people in small, medium and large businesses about “the environment” and they’ll tell you it’s a government problem and – if anything – a cost for them.
It’s opportunity and innovation
Leading entrepreneurs who have been developing and testing regenerative business since the 1990s have found that smarter, cleaner, regenerative business not only works – it INCREASES profits as it makes the world better.
While it’s surprisingly straightforward – it’s not always easy…
It requires the same entrepreneurial thinking and innovation skills as any other business development project.
Don't leave the future of your business to the whims of government policy
Big governments don’t deliver economic innovation at scale. They didn’t make the internet economy, build the first railroads, start the automobile economy or develop the air conditioning industry. They didn’t reinvent transport, accommodation or music into online apps.
Citizen entrepreneurs are starting crowd-funded renewable energy cooperatives. Materials innovators are delivering compostable alternatives to structural plastics. Smart thermostats are saving money. Forward thinking farmers are becoming agro-ecologists rebuilding soil quality and habitat.
