About North Star Transition

North Star Transition is a UK-based, not-for-profit organisation with a unique hybrid structure (part private limited company, part charity) dedicated to accelerating systemic change toward a regenerative future. Founded to address systemic barriers that prevent corporations and institutions from making positive, lasting impacts, their work bridges the worlds of business, ecosystems, and community-led change.

Their Core Focus

• Unblocking corporate & institutional action — removing systemic, financial, and governance barriers to regeneration.

• Transition Labs — place-based, multi-stakeholder processes that:

  • Convene actors across sectors and interests.

  • Identify and dismantle barriers to desired change.

  • Co-create transformational, locally owned, and financially viable interventions.

• Regional grounding — adapting priorities and interventions to the local context (e.g. agriculture, river health, renewable energy).

• Regenerative ethics — aligning finance, governance, and action with outcomes that restore ecosystems, reduce inequality, and heal communities.

We see North Star Transition as a key node in the planetary network of regenerative catalysts — uniquely positioned to merge systemic regeneration principles with the capacity to influence corporate and institutional behaviour at scale.

Why We See Them as a Core Ally

Their approach to Transition Labs embodies the core ethic of the regenerative movement:

• Multi-stakeholder collaboration

• Localisation & place-based priorities

• Sustainable, non-grant-dependent financing

• Action designed to shift whole systems, not just individual projects

This aligns strongly with our mission at Prisma to equip regenerative catalysts with the social and technological tools to accelerate system transitions.
