WORKSHOP
Restore Nature: Capital Architecture for Landscape-Scale Regeneration
When: Wednesday 9 September, 15:00-16:30 SGT
Where: Suntec Convention Centre
Hosted in partnership with: Restore Nature Foundation, NO.17 Foundation, TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), SecondMuse
Who Should Attend: At One Impact Week participants

Can investors, family offices, and blended finance experts build the vehicle for landscape regeneration before the next election cycle, not the next report?
The gap between available capital and landscape-scale regeneration is not primarily a quantity problem. It is an architecture problem. Institutional portfolios hold trillions in assets seeking long-duration, inflation-linked, socially legitimate returns precisely what a well-structured landscape transition fund can offer. Family offices and multigenerational businesses hold something rarer still: the thirty-year horizon, the connection to place, and the intergenerational accountability that no institutional mandate can replicate.
Yet across both, the instruments, mandates, and risk structures through which capital flows into rural landscapes remain profoundly misaligned with the governance realities and time horizons that regeneration requires. The Restore Nature Discovery Phase is where SecondMuse's Future Economy strategy meets the ground, building regenerative, mutual economies, investing across whole landscapes rather than one company at a time, so that financial returns and lasting benefit for people and planet rise together. It brings together two things: the methodology we use to design each investment, and the funds through which we deploy the capital we manage. In Indonesia, that methodology is running in real time.
This session gives participants a direct look inside the build, using the Discovery Phase itself as the working example.
FUNDERS ROUNDTABLE
Restore Nature: Underwriting the Landscape Transition
When: Thursday 10 September, 07:30-09:00 SGT
Where: Suntec Convention Centre
Side event hosted in partnership with: Restore Nature Foundation, NO.17 Foundation, TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), SecondMuse
Who Should Attend: Foundations, family offices, and mission-aligned investors

The Restore Nature Workshop: Capital Architecture for Landscape-Scale Regeneration session on 9 September makes the case to 40+ people. This breakfast is smaller and more direct — 15 to 20 priority funders, seated with the people building the Discovery Phase. Where the workshop introduces the model, this session turns it into commitment.
The Discovery Phase proves capital can flow to a whole landscape at once, delivering financial return alongside lasting benefit for people and land. Three Indonesian landscapes are underway: Simeulue (coconut value chain, with Lush, Ecosia, Corekees, Mars), Central Sulawesi (cacao, anchored by Mars), and East Kalimantan (nature-based restoration on a former palm oil concession, with TPC and OCTAVE Capital, modelling what 2.4 million hectares of degraded land could become).
Underlying all three is Mutual Value Labs and Economics of Mutuality Foundation's model: pricing mutual value the way finance prices risk and return, so regeneration and return are the same act. Stephen Badger's own journey — from mutual value in business to mutual value across an economy — anchors why this matters to the room.
The session moves through welcome, Discovery Phase story, and funder model, closing with a personal ask. Three funder tiers run from $100,000 to $1 million+, with site sponsorship and first-loss capital options. Each seat leaves with a commitment card.
EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE
Shaping Forest-Positive Economies: Emerging Opportunities for Outcome-Led Sourcing and Investment
When: Thursday 10 September, 10:00-13:30 SGT (including networking lunch)
Where: The Conrad Hotel
Side event hosted in partnership with: The Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO), with contributions from Artha Networks Inc.
Who Should Attend: Senior business leaders, investors, government representatives, and impact practitioners
____
How can businesses, investors, and governments work together to accelerate forest-positive economic development across Asia? This invitation-only executive roundtable will explore practical opportunities to strengthen rural livelihoods, improve supply chain resilience, reduce deforestation, and unlock new investment opportunities through place-based collaboration.
Bringing together leaders from across business, finance, government, and civil society, the discussion will examine how cross-sector partnerships can help align corporate sourcing, investment, and regional development priorities to create more resilient landscapes and sustainable value chains.
Participants will hear about a new public-private platform designed to address deforestation through place-based approaches, by aligning market demand and financing with policy frameworks and local development priorities. The platform, led by AFoCO, will bring together corporations, investors, and local stakeholders, alongside governments from more than 17 Asian countries.
Participants will share perspectives, explore emerging opportunities, and identify practical areas for future collaboration.
CORPORATE ROUNDTABLE
Restore Nature: Enterprise Stewardship of Landscape Transition
When: Thursday 10 September, 14:00-15:30 SGT
Where: Suntec Convention Center
Side event hosted in partnership with: Restore Nature Foundation, NO.17 Foundation, TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), SecondMuse
Who Should Attend: Business leaders, sustainability and procurement professionals
___
Asia’s natural ecosystems underpin climate resilience, biodiversity, food security, rural livelihoods, and long-term economic development. Yet deforestation, climate change, and socioeconomic pressures continue to weaken the landscapes on which businesses and communities depend.
Corporates, investors, governments, and development organisations are responding, but their efforts often remain fragmented: supply-chain programmes focus on individual commodities, investors assess isolated transactions, and public or philanthropic initiatives pursue outcomes through separate projects.
The Restore Nature Discovery Phase is exploring a more coordinated approach. It connects corporate sourcing priorities and investment capital with locally defined development goals, enabling policy environments, and measurable outcomes for people and nature. Rather than treating individual projects in isolation, the approach identifies a connected portfolio of business opportunities and public-benefit outcomes capable of supporting transition across an entire landscape.
This invitation-only roundtable will bring together senior corporate leaders, investors, and regional partners to examine how enterprises can help make landscape transition commercially relevant, investable, and scalable.
WORKSHOP
Purposeful Leadership and Meaningful Growth
When: Friday 11 September, 09:30-10:30 SGT
Where: Suntec Convention Center
Who Should Attend: Senior business leaders, investors and impact practitioners
____
Are we solving the right problems when trying to attain impactful and sustainable growth?
Across Asia, business leaders are facing growing pressure to deliver both commercial performance and positive impact. Yet many organisations continue to rely primarily on short-term financial signals, leaving important sources of value - and opportunities for future growth - unrecognised.
A core part of purpose-led value creation is identifying the problems facing people or the planet that a business is well placed to solve, and using its strengths and resources to turn them into opportunities for positive impact and long-term growth. By identifying where their distinctive capabilities and resources can address these challenges, businesses can uncover new opportunities for enduring mutual value creation.
This session explores how leaders can rethink the way value is understood across strategy and decision-making, identify the barriers that prevent organisations from unlocking it, and use purposeful leadership to focus their capabilities on the challenges where they can make the greatest difference.
The discussion will invite leaders to consider a fundamental question: what problems is your organisation uniquely positioned to solve, and how could solving them become a source of sustainable, meaningful growth?
FIRESIDE CHAT with Stephen Badger and Chavalit Frederick Tsao
Stewarding Whole Landscapes: Financing the Living Economy of Regeneration
When: Friday 11 September, 10:15-10:45 SGT
Where: Suntec Convention Centre
Hosted in partnership with: Restore Nature Foundation, NO.17 Foundation, TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), SecondMuse
Who Should Attend: At One Impact Week participants
____
What if we start stewarding economic ecosystems letting capital flow as nourishment not extraction? What is needed to align philanthropic, catalytic, and commercial capital to flourish?
Regenerative farms, carbon plots, and standalone biodiversity programmes cannot transform a landscape structurally organised for extraction. Thousands of pilots have been funded, yet a fragmented landscape remains fragmented.
We reframe the question of landscape finance from "How do we fund the next project?" to "How do we sequence philanthropic, catalytic, and commercial capital into one coherent system that regenerates a whole landscape?"; where urban food systems, ocean ecosystems and rural landscapes are revealed as one regenerative continuum across ASEAN.
