Meet Sebastian Cadell, COO & Partner at Nosco, one of the driving forces behind the Nosco Platform’s strategic development.

This is how Sebastian summarized the principles of the Nosco platform in an almost poetic way:
“Silos mean that the eyes and ears are no longer connected to the decision making power and the brains. Therefore, our platform’s core principle is to help remove silos. It’s about flattening the hierarchies, reducing the distance between idea and decision making and improving the ability to execute on that idea.”

A sustainable company seeks merely to reduce its ecological footprint; a regenerative company boldly seeks to increase its socio-ecological handprint—as Harvard professor Greg Norris puts it—by restoring the health of individuals, communities, and the planet.

In doing so, regenerative businesses can achieve greater financial performance and impact than their sustainability-focused peers.
