From Egocentric to Ecocentric: A Paradigm Shift 

By Erika Johansson

In a world where our systems are in constant flux, we face a historic opportunity to reshape our business models towards a more positive, sustainable, and prosperous future. It’s time to move away from outdated, egocentric perspectives and embrace an ecocentric mindset — where we’re all part of a bigger whole, and where our decisions has a positive impact on both people and planet.

What is Egocentrism vs. Ecocentrism?

Egocentrism is about putting human needs and interests at the center, often disregarding the ecological systems we depend on. Decisions are driven by maximizing economic gain, without necessarily considering the long-term consequences for nature and society.

Ecocentrism focuses on the whole — where human needs are seen as part of a larger context. In an ecocentric world, every choice we make, individually and collectively, is part of a broader ecosystem. Here, the well-being of nature, biodiversity, and sustainability are prioritized in every decision.

Why is an Ecocentric Perspective Crucial?

Over the past few decades, the world has started to feel the effects of over-exploitation and short-term solutions. Climate change, loss of biodiversity, and depletion of natural resources are consequences that can no longer be ignored.

It has become evident that the old way of thinking, which focused on being the best in the world, is no longer sustainable. Instead, we need to focus on being the best FOR the world — by creating systems that not only preserve our resources but regenerate and restore them.
