How companies can transition from CSR to Planet-Positive strategies

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) was once the gold standard for sustainability efforts. But as environmental challenges escalate, it’s clear that CSR alone isn’t enough.

The next frontier? Planet-positive strategies.

Planet-positive strategies go beyond minimizing harm; they actively regenerate ecosystems and enhance biodiversity. Businesses that adopt these approaches move from damage control to creating net benefits for the planet. Think of companies funding reforestation projects or developing products that support circular economies.

Transitioning to planet-positive requires companies to rethink their operations. This might mean adopting science-based targets, measuring their biodiversity impact, or aligning with initiatives like the EU Nature Restoration Law.

By shifting from CSR to planet-positive strategies, businesses can not only comply with regulations but also inspire consumers and set themselves apart as true leaders in sustainability.
