Recent initiatives

At Gustavson, we believe that business can help create a better world and drive meaningful social change. Our business school develops responsible leaders equipped to champion this change and the Centre for Regenerative Futures (CRF) is there to support that vision. 

Regenerative Dialogue Series

CRF regularly invites local industry thought leaders to come together to exchange knowledge and expertise. Whether it is discussions taking place over a book launch or guided community dialogues, these conversations have a lasting impact as we move our community toward a regenerative future.

2025 - Bringing Regeneration into Business Education

A thought-provoking panel brought together industry experts and Gustavson faculty to discuss how we can build regeneration into business education and prepare future leaders to create lasting, positive change. 

2024 - Exploring the PLACE Framework for Stronger Communities

Natalie Slawinski, along with her co-authors, shared insights from her new book Revitalizing PLACE through Social Enterprise. The session explored how the PLACE Framework can guide leaders in solving big challenges facing communities today. Read the full story.  

Case studies

CRF has collaborated with industry partners, academics and students to develop a series of case studies to be used in the classroom. Since 2022, faculty at Gustavson have created a total of 6 cases illustrating regenerative sustainability, teaching them in both our graduate and undergraduate programs.

Travel guide

CRF's travel guide serves as a tool to reflect on how we balance the demands of our global engagement with our responsibility to mitigate climate change.
