Guiding principles

01

Be humble

Seeking to understand and improve the conditions for life on the planet is a task of infinite complexity. Grounded by nature, we stay humble and sincere in everything we do.

02

Learn with nature

Inspiration in nature and its biological processes will guide our investments. We shall adapt ourselves to nature, as we are part of nature.

03

Perceive wealth holistically

True wealth is much more than money in the bank. We perceive wealth as well-being and harmony between humans, nature and the economy.

04

Trust patient capital

Real value takes time to manifest. We support long-term business models and real value creation over quick profit maximisation.

05

Build strong communities

Strong communities build resilience and awareness. We strive to create movement and stronger connections within the networks we grow with.

06

Advocate for change

Real change depends on systemic change. We dedicate ourselves to create real, tangible change and assume leadership towards a new paradigm.

THEORY OF CHANGE

At Planetary, our theory of change is rooted in the interconnectedness of life. We want to channel truly patient capital to address the funding shortfall, investing in the people who aspire to create regenerative businesses. Through this, we seek to cause systemic change, transforming the structure of our economy to one that is fundamentally balanced and aligned with regenerative principles.

“Planetary is my go-to partner when I need to calibrate my sustainability compass. It is sustainability without circumlocution. It is the health of the planet that is the benchmark, and I think this uncompromisingness works because it is presented and argued for with propriety and with an understanding that we all stand where we stand for many reasons - I have never experienced shaming, but that we also all of us can move us towards a better place. We just need to understand what the better place is.”
