“Ethical Markets recommends this deep dive into the work of our partner Biomimicry 3.8. I am also an early investor in this wonderful consulting company, and we co-developed the financial tool “Principles of Ethical Biomimicry Finance“ a turnkey knowledge system available for licensing to asset managers wanting to learn this kind of innovative investing.  We are thrilled to see Biomimicry 3.8 expand and progress in this beautiful new website!

logoTHE ECONOMY OF THE FUTURE: BUSINESS AS NATURE

Biomimicry is all about learning from nature’s genius and the 3.8 billion years of R&D that’s been created since Life first appeared on Earth. This Fast Co. article argues that the economy of the future will rely on a mindset shift that embraces the wisdom of nature. Business as nature—rather than business vs. nature—will lead us into the future. The article also features B3.8’s Factory as a Forest work with Interface Inc., an initiative of the company’s Climate Take Back goals aiming to help it create facilities that go beyond net zero and provide benefits on par with healthy ecosystems.

“If we want to survive and thrive,” article author Navi Radjou says, “we need a radical shift in consciousness.” We couldn’t agree more.
