Themes from the study

The primary theme in the report is ‘regenerative business’ – building new practices, future-ready organisations, and notions of community.

Our research identified wellbeing and work as a primary barrier to sustainable change, with the need to focus on collective and individual agency if we’re going to effectively tackle social and environmental challenges.

Our insights are drawn from unique data and research conducted by our sustainability team, including a national quantitative study and interviews with business, academic, and community leaders.

Some of the themes and areas explored are:
