Dear Colleagues "The essence of true understanding lies not merely in what is known, but in how profoundly it reshapes what is yet to be discovered." So begins our latest endeavor, : Banking on Circularity: Can Financial Institutions Become the Engines of a Regenerative Economy? Co-authored by Williams and I, which confronts the current state-of-the-art in circular finance with uncompromising rigor. While contemporary approaches have pushed boundaries, they often grapple with a limited scope, failing to fully integrate systemic regeneration. Our paper transcends these limitations by introducing a novel framework for assessing and de-risking circular economy investments. This isn't merely an incremental improvement; it’s a fundamental rethinking, offering a blueprint for financial institutions to identify, evaluate, and capitalize on genuinely regenerative business models. The contribution of this work to the ongoing discussion is profound. Daniella and I don't just present a solution; we ignite a new avenue for inquiry, meticulously dissecting the implicit assumptions that have previously constrained progress. Our analysis reveals the critical need for new accounting standards that recognize the intrinsic value of resource longevity and ecosystem services, thereby challenging established dogma and opening fertile ground for future exploration. The potential this research heralds is transformative, offering critical synergies across finance, sustainable development, and industrial ecology, and paving the way for a truly regenerative global economy. This synthesis of theoretical insight and practical applicability promises to redefine how capital flows enable environmental and social prosperity, moving us beyond conventional boundaries and towards a more nuanced, interconnected future. We invite you to engage with this work and join us in shaping the next frontier of sustainable finance.
