Pricing patterns and revenue patterns help firms set prices and generate earnings from sustainable business offerings.
Financing patterns provide methods for obtaining equity, debt and operating capital to fund sustainable business models.
Eco-design patterns enhance business models’ sustainability through designing activities, processes and offerings.
Closing-the-loop patterns integrate circular material and energy flows into business model design.
Supply chain patterns determine where resources come from and how to reach target markets in the supply chain.
Giving patterns facilitate your contributions of products or services.
Access provision patterns create markets and offerings for overlooked social groups.
Social mission patterns empower social groups to become productive partners and transform their needs into demand.
Service patterns and performance patterns facilitate the transition from physical products to functions, services and results
