About Us
Why we exist, why "TealCo" and what inspires us
Our mission:
Support pioneering organisations to learn from nature to become truly regenerative forces in the world
It is clear that a new paradigm of organisational practice is emerging to meet the needs of today.
Organisations are being called on to actively restore and improve the world around them, embrace complexity and recognise themselves as living systems.
We exist to support and accompany the organisations of the future to respond to this call by integrating nature's wisdom into their practices, processes and ways of being.​
Meet our Founder
Hannah Temple is a regenerative organisation specialist. She has spoken on regenerative organisational design and practice for the UN Global Compact, Blue Earth Summit, Learn Biomimicry's Global Confluence, the Regenerative Business Summit, the Catalyse Change Summit, the Wellbeing Economy Alliance and many more.
Prior to setting up TealCo, Hannah worked as a recognised expert in the field of sustainability, human rights and business supporting some of the world’s largest organisations to take action in their operations and supply chains across the full spectrum of social, environmental and governance issues.
Hannah co-leads the Earth Funding Lab, is a faculty member at the Life Centred Design School and hosts A Thriving Future podcast.
​
She is a geographer and political economist, two-time Parliamentary candidate for the Green Party in the UK, nature connection facilitator, skilled systems thinker and Bio-Leadership Fellow.
"Becoming regenerative is not simply a matter of implementing the steps on a different checklist, it is a completely different way of being in the world."
Why "TealCo"?
"Teal" refers to Frederic Laloux's work on organisational evolution which identifies "teal" organisations as those that act like ecosystems, a vital shift for organisations seeking to have a positive impact in the world.
​
"Co" stands for collective. We believe that all activities are enhanced when multiple and diverse points of view are involved. We work as a collective community of consultants and organisations with different specialisms which we draw from to develop the right team for each project.
