4 steps to kick off a regenerative transformation

Amid the current chaos, you know you need to “go beyond sustainability,” but don’t know where to start. The PRIT method (Protect, Repair, Invest, Transform) offers a clear, four-step path that applies to any activity, in any sector. It helps you move from a defensive stance to a truly regenerative model.

Based on

Regeneration: The Future of Community in a Permacrisis World, by Christian Sarkar, Philip Kotler and Enrico Foglia, Idea Bite Press 2023.

1. Protect—secure the essentials first

Objective:
Identify the vital resources—human, natural, and social—on which the company depends, then act immediately to prevent their degradation.

Key Actions:

  • Map critical assets: raw materials, water resources, biodiversity, key know-how, employee health, strategic suppliers.
  • Assess vulnerability: water stress, rupture risks, local social tensions, regulatory exposure.
  • Deploy quick shields: long-term contracts with essential suppliers, prudent resource management, reinforced health & safety standards.
  • Engage locally: meet officials, associations, and residents to catch weak signals.

Food group Barilla started by protecting its wheat supply chains—supporting soil-conserving farming practices and securing volumes at fair prices for Italian producers.

Watchpoints
Don’t settle for a static map: update it annually to factor in new threats (climate, geopolitical tensions, regulations).
