Our Values

Reconomy and reconomists seem to share 3 key values – Regeneration, Distribution and Empowerment.

Our Values determine who to do business with, how to help those we work with and where to invest our time, efforts and monies.  Of course it goes to the heart of our own ventures.

Regenerative –  Taking action to regenerate the economy.  This means operating in the environmentally safe and socially just boundaries of business and the Economy.  Improving (in an ongoing way) the social, cultural, environmental or developmental potential of individuals and communities.

Distributive – This means ‘give stakeholders an actual stake’.  This means that people are invested in and benefit from the business and commercial communities where they operate.  Member-ownership, crowd-funding and employee-ownership are some of the means of ‘distribution’, but the value beneath these means is the value of increasing participation, inclusion and ownership of stakeholders.

Smart – Elegant solutions to problems, novel technology use, great story-telling, awesome marketing tactics and working with (as opposed to against) nature all a part of being smart.  We also think being regenerative and distributive is smart.
