Work-life balance means integrating work and life so that the work we choose to do expresses who we want to be in the world.
The Disruptors
With Liz Farr
Ingrid Edstrom wants accounting to be not just a more sustainable profession but one that’s regenerative. “This idea of sustainability is really operating from the idea that things can continue to perpetuate as they are,” she explains. A firm may be financially sustainable, “but at what cost to our families, to our personal health?”
The regenerative approach recognizes “that we’ve already passed a threshold of harm that needs to be healed,” Edstrom says. “Regenerative accounting is starting to reframe those ideas around 'What does it look like to go about business in a different way that is truly life-supporting for all peoples and our planet, rather than being extractive of our planet and exploitative of our peoples?'"
