In recent years, sustainability has become a mantra for many companies. Green projects, carbon footprint reduction, and community support initiatives are widely discussed. But how much of this actually leads to real change?
The risk is stopping at outputs—the immediate, easily measurable results. Companies often focus on how many trees were planted, how many events were organized, or how many tons of CO₂ were offset. While these are important metrics, they alone fail to answer the real question: what impact have these actions actually had?

While these are important metrics, they alone fail to answer the real question: what impact have these actions actually had?
Output vs. Impact
Imagine a textile company launching a new line of products made from organic cotton or recycled materials. If it only communicates the percentage of sustainable fabrics used or the number of eco-friendly garments sold, it is focusing on an output.
But real impact goes beyond these numbers. The real question is whether this choice has actually reduced water consumption and pesticide use in the textile industry, improved working conditions throughout the supply chain, or encouraged consumers to adopt more responsible behaviors by reducing clothing waste.
Unfortunately, many fashion brands stop at outputs, sometimes venturing into greenwashing by promoting marginal environmental efforts that do not align with their core business. While outputs measure the quantity of sustainable materials used, eco-friendly collections launched, or certifications obtained, impact is reflected in a real reduction in resource consumption, a lower carbon footprint across the supply chain, improved labor conditions in factories, and tangible shifts in consumer behavior.

Why is it necessary to measure impact?
At Regg3, we go beyond basic performance metrics. We have developed a regenerative model that helps companies turn data into real change—and even financial value. With our support, businesses can identify and actively reduce their environmental and social footprint within the territories they operate in, using these insights to develop more effective and targeted strategies.
For us, sustainability is not just about compliance—it is an opportunity for innovation and authentic growth. We help companies move beyond numbers, ensuring they truly engage stakeholders and communities in a meaningful and measurable way.
