About
GDR Institute puts Gross Domestic Regeneration into practice.
Gross Domestic Regeneration scores what a place restores, beside what it earns: ecological, social and capital regeneration, read together. Tenzin Seldon originated the framework; the Institute puts it to work.
The Institute
GDR Institute exists to make GDR usable
Origin
Tenzin Seldon's question
How do we create and sustain regenerative systems? Tenzin Seldon, who originated GDR, answered with a measure of what an economy regenerates, read beside what it produces.
Mission
Where the Institute works
GDR Institute puts GDR to work in government, commercial sectors and bioregions, with partners public and private.
Vision
GDR as an adopted standard
Recognized by a multilateral statistical body, a routine input for long-horizon investors, and a candidate framework for the agenda that succeeds the Sustainable Development Goals.
Values
Open, verified, in place
Every figure reproduces from named public sources. Outside experts check the method. Every reading is tested where it is made, from a municipality to the multilateral system.
Practice
What the Institute does
- Assess one place at its scale
- Model what the levers move
- Plan programs with partners
Work with us
Work with GDR Institute
Private
A company, an investor or a philanthropist reads what a holding, a supply chain, a site or a pilot regenerates, and which pillar binds.
Public
A government body, an ambassador or a land trust puts GDR beside GDP for its place: where it stands, which pillar to lift first, and what a program would change.
Academic
A research partner or an economist works on the method itself: the data and the code in the open, the tests fixed in advance, the model stress-tested.
