    Current ecological and social crises have highlighted the limitations of the sustainability approach—centered on impact mitigation—to effectively address today’s systemic challenges. In this context, regeneration emerges as a transformative proposal that redefines the role of businesses, inviting them not only to reduce harm, but to restore ecosystems, strengthen communities, and care for life in all its forms. However, its adoption in the private sector remains at an early stage and faces the challenge of lacking clear and applicable references. Given this scenario, the main objective of this research was to identify principles and practices that enable private organizations to transition toward regeneration. To achieve this, a methodological cross-analysis was conducted between specialized literature and empirical evidence gathered through semi-structured interviews with companies and experts. This articulation allowed for a contrast between theoretical advances and the level of practical appropriation within the business context, revealing key tensions, opportunities, and learnings. The findings reveal a shared language around regeneration as an evolution of sustainability, with a holistic, systemic, and transformative approach. Despite facing cultural, economic, and measurement-related barriers, its strategic value is recognized for innovation, accessing new markets, and strengthening relationships with stakeholders and territories. Practices already implemented by some organizations—along with more collaborative governance structures and the recognition of nature as a key actor—demonstrate that regeneration is not merely an ethical aspiration but a concrete path to building businesses connected to living systems. In conclusion, the research confirms that moving toward regeneration requires a profound rethinking of business purpose, along with the adoption of new forms of governance, measurement models, and engagement with territories. Although the journey presents significant challenges, it also opens strategic opportunities in terms of innovation, differentiation, and shared value creation. Regeneration should not be conceived as a fixed destination, but as an ongoing process that demands continuous adaptation.
