Unearthodox is proud to present our Annual Report 2023, which celebrates our first year in operation since the transition from the Luc Hoffmann Institute.
Our vision is a world with diverse and equitable societies that value and actively regenerate nature.
Unearthodox drives systems change through social innovation to address complex environmental issues and regenerate nature. We collaborate with innovators, investors and organisations to nurture new ideas so that nature and people can thrive together.

Our Programmes
At Unearthodox, we connect people to explore what might have been overlooked and understand root problems. We guide people from new visions of the future, through ideas, to action.
We are committed to fostering unexpected and diverse connections and reimagining the complex challenges at the intersection of nature and society, so that equitable societal solutions emerge. To achieve these objectives, we have a portfolio with three distinct but interconnected programmes.
We believe that working together in an open and inclusive way can help us find fair and diverse paths to a better future. By using innovative approaches and bringing together people with different backgrounds and ideas, we can uncover the deeper causes of long-standing challenges in caring for our environment. Together, we can discover new solutions that allow life on earth to thrive.
Socio-environmental innovation could be a level playing field.
Equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to the regeneration of nature. Entrenched power structures are already being challenged and reformed across many areas of society. A diverse mix of social and environmental actors working together can effectively co-define what is needed to regenerate nature, leading to wider buy-in and collective uptake of new ideas, alternative models and changed behaviours.
There is abundant energy, talent and curiosity to rethink pathways to societal change.
Passionate people around the world are already working on crucial nature-society challenges. However, many socio-environmental innovators are disconnected from each other and lack the supporting space and resources to imagine inspiring new futures together. Until now, much conservation work has been siloed from other sectors, but with funding, space and support, these innovators can grow their ideas.
Reflection and reframing can lead to more effective ideas.
Deep reflection and reframing can help socio-environmental innovators to position their efforts beyond short-term changes and quick fixes, to long-term social shifts. Together, we can recognise and give the energy to expanding mindsets beyond ‘crisis understanding’. With trust, diverse groups are able to explore commonalities and differences, finding untapped potential in new systems and ideas, as well as refreshing existing ones.
"Congratulations to Unearthodox for living up to its name and going beyond the use of convenient jargon. Language is about seeing, and how we see the world will dictate its future. Your collaborative work, going to the very core of how to care and nurture, is the key to our future." Paul Hawken, Environmentalist, entrepreneur, and author of Regeneration and Drawdown
"A deep and inclusive pathway of transition to regeneration as an ethos is so critical today, and it is reassuring that Unearthodox is leading the way in ensuring that the knowledge body is holistic and meaningful." Nisha Mary Poulose, Bioregional Planner - Regenerative Transitions, Founder - Woven Design Collaborative
