Driving Sustainability

The answers to how to live well on Earth are all around us

At Biomimicry 3.8, we connect clients to the biological intelligence that follows a core set of operating conditions–we call them Life’s Principles–to ensure their work creates conditions conducive to life.

“Biomimicry is one of those rare hopeful notes in the modern chorus of environmental warnings.” –Jonathon Porritt, Chairman, Chair of the UK Prime Minister’s Sustainable Development Commission

Our methodology allows biomimicry to be applied to create new products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are inherently sustainable, effective and efficient, reduce materials and waste, and increase revenue and brand loyalty.

In nature, ultimate success for an organism is for the future generation of that species to survive and thrive. To achieve this, organism must take care of its place. Whether you need to find structural strength, regulate temperature, create color or flavor, or capture carbon, nature’s inherently sustainable, deep patterns and principles can guide the design of high-performing, high-quality, and effective solutions for your most vexing challenges.

How can Biomimicry 3.8 help incorporate nature’s best sustainability practices into your organization?
