Across ecosystems
JERICA designs and co-creates intergenerational business ecosystems that #DoBetterForPeopleAndPlanet.
Business ecosystems are networks of interlinked companies, organizations, advocates and the environment. JERICA-designed ecosystems dynamically interact with each other through co-opetition and collaboration to survive and thrive across generations.
JERICA takes inspiration from natural environments to understand, influence and replicate economic and social ecosystems that are #Regenerative, #Ethical and #Inclusive.
JERICA-designed ecosystems promote the sharing of knowledge and net profits, support micro-economy development and ethical purchasing across supply chains, and embed natural ecosystem stewardship approaches.
Market
The context you are operating in defined in part by you. It is the space in which your organization has been or wants to participate in.
JERICA helps you rethink the market, and redesign the economic approach and business model that best fits the business, social and environmental outcomes for that market.
When you work with JERICA, we encourage, cajole, inspire and push for putting environmental sustainability and social equity into whatever you do. If the systems you work within don't allow it, we'll help you change those systems.
Catalysts
Catalyst or keystone enterprises using the #JERICAModel create and evolve the best conditions for all actors within the ecosystem.
This is corporate responsibility made real, transparent and effective for more than a few shareholders. JERICA-designed catalyst enterprises combine revenue generating activities and direct and indirect positive impacts on surrounding social and natural environments.
JERICA works with business and community leaders to ensure they’re acting as #SystemsChangeWarriors, creating positive role-models and activating lasting, reciprocal good:
for people and planet
for partners and stakeholders
for individuals and organizations
for production and biodiversity
for today and tomorrow.

Integrated Projects
Businesses and catalyst enterprises are dependent upon partnerships with other complementary organizations. JERICA supports the development of integrated projects that enrich the overall health and viability of the business ecosystem.
This is where smart technology can play a part, as well as micro-economies supporting underserved local communities to participate and benefit from business ecosystems.
Integrated projects also serve to highlight and intensify the impact of projects working in the UN SDG areas, local-context specific.
Community-led Initiatives
No business exists in a vacuum. Better businesses understand local contexts - the communities their workers live in, the natural environments their products rely on, the everyday experiences of their customers.
Disconnection from communities and from nature often drives singular, extractive and ultimately damaging practices. JERICA works directly with communities (and creates connections for organization) to listen to their ideas for long-term sustainable and regenerative approaches will ensure interconnected and reciprocal alliances.
JERICA supports the establishment of autonomous community-operations and social enterprises that participate fully in business ecosystems. Many of these initiatives are built around adaptable steward ownership models that suit local circumstances.
