Regenerative business means giving back more than we take away – inspired by how nature’s connected systems do the same.
IN PRACTICE, THIS MEANS REPLACING TRANSACTIONAL, DEGENERATIVE SUPPLY CHAINS WITH ADDITIVE VALUE CHAINS; ENSURING THAT EVERYONE WHO WORKS FOR VIVO HAS WHAT THEY NEED TO THRIVE; AND BUILDING A HEALTHY BAREFOOT COMMUNITY.
Regenerative business means giving back more than we take away – inspired by how nature’s connected systems do the same.
In practice, this means replacing transactional, degenerative supply chains with additive value chains; ensuring that everyone who works for vivo has what they need to thrive; and building a healthy barefoot community.
We’re not regenerative.
We’re not even sustainable. We want our business to grow because we believe the more people in barefoot footwear the better. But growth at any cost is not part of the deal. We’re trying to build a regenerative business in an industry infamous for exploitation, extraction, short-termism, and waste. We’re still a long way off doing that but we’re moving in the right direction - toward meeting and exceeding the highest responsible standards for people and planet.
THE HUMAN FOOT IS NATURE’S MASTERPIECE
With 28 bones, hundreds of muscles, and thousands of nerve endings, your feet have been millions of years in the making. They are, by far, the cleverest things ever put into a shoe. Modern footwear – narrow, padded, rigid – cuts off their natural potential. Vivos, on the other foot, are wide, thin, and flexible to regenerate your feet and revitalise your natural movement. From circular design to material innovation and value-chain transparency, we’re working hard to develop products that will eventually regenerate planetary health too.
