WHO GATHERED AND WHY?
Central to the Skoll Centre’s mission is the question: “How can we effectively and responsibly catalyse impact at scale, scaling up while also scaling deep?”
Seven highly innovative companies – Oatly, Ecosia, Generation Investment Management, Tony’s Chocolonely, Patagonia, Triodos Bank, and Natura are convening to build insight on just that. Launched with a two day event at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford, and co-hosted by sustainability pioneer Natura and the Skoll Centre, the group is sharing their unique efforts and transformative potential across a range of sectors from technology to finance to agriculture and consumer goods. 1
These companies are diverse, yet united by a shared commitment to use their business to drive systems change. This goes well beyond sustainability as usual. Within the group, some companies describe themselves as a coalition of firms working towards regenerative business or a regenerative economy, while others self-identify as examples of “imperfect businesses”, emphasising that even companies perceived to be working on the cutting edge of corporate sustainability face challenges and feel they have room to go further.
We have no formal corporate social responsibility or
sustainability team. Our entire business strategy aligns with our environmental and social commitments.
