What we do

Achieving sustainable prosperity requires a fundamental shift in how businesses operate. For too long, our global economic system has prioritised short-term profits over other foundations that make a society prosper, such as environmental, human, and social capital. InTent’s strategy is to ensure that businesses become key drivers of prosperity for both people and the planet.

Because our global economic system is complex, we strategically focus our efforts on three pillars that serve as cornerstones for systemic change.

How we operate

Make nature count: integrating nature and biodiversity in business models and decision making.

Nature is the planet’s life support system, and business cannot work against it. Just as a tree cannot live without deep roots in a healthy soil, so the business world cannot thrive if it undermines its own foundations and pollutes the soil in which it is built.

Leading businesses have successfully integrated nature-positive strategies into their operations — proven solutions that not only restore nature but also drive profitability and resilience.

Given the alarming rate of nature’s decline, it is becoming increasingly essential to democratise these successful strategies. They serve as powerful levers to inspire and equip businesses across all sectors with tangible, actionable solutions that align with planetary boundaries.

Value all forms of capital: building with intent and measure the interdependencies between financial, human, social, and natural capital.

What gets measured gets managed. Accounting is the language of our economy; for decades, it has measured and reported financial capital only, sidelining nature, people, and the society that sustains it. Yet, what we value dictates what we protect—and what we fail to account for, we ultimately risk losing.

The climate is warming, natural systems continue to degrade, social inequalities are widening, and geopolitics are in turmoil. The time has come to challenge the over-financialised accounting system.

We need to integrate all forms of capital to make informed decisions and mitigate the associated risks. By measuring environmental, social, and human impacts and dependencies, businesses can build their company’s strategy with purpose and intent.

Foster bold leadership: encouraging visionary leadership that prioritises long-term impact over short-term gains.

Not facing the reality of the challenges ahead, in a world beyond 1.5 degrees, with over 8 billion inhabitants, diminishing resources, and increasing social inequalities, would be a reckless disregard for humanity.

The difficult era of change we are entering calls for humble and courageous leaders at all levels of society. Bold leaders can drive the transformation towards an integrated economic system and the new social contract that accompanies it.

We can protect our democracies and communities with new narratives of success, systemic approaches, and interdisciplinary and intergenerational collaboration.
