Regenerative Economic Development

Corporate Purpose Project is a center for regenerative economic development with three areas of focus:

  1. We publish research about addressing systemic issues related to the corporate economy.

  2. We produce programming for organizations and communities to face these systemic issues.

  3. We partner on the development of regenerative business models and platforms.

RESEARCH

How can we steer our economies and democracies toward sustainable futures?

Our inquiry unravels the structures and paradigms of corporate capitalism and reveals leverage points for regenerative change-making.

Featured research: Our 2024 case study examines the consequentiality and economic structures of consciousness-altering medicines.
