Identify Impacts of your business idea according to the Doughnut Scheme. That means for every Doughnut Dimension (i.e air pollution or food see Picture below) at least one Aspect.

For that you have to fill the table on the next page:

1) identify the positive ways in your business idea you chose can help humanity move towards living in the Doughnut.

2) Identify negative ways your business idea contributes to social pressure and ecological pressure.

3) identify where the negative ways create risk or impacts for your business

4) Sources (web articles, etc.)

The Last question is about spotting opportunities through the Doughnut

 

As an Example:

Source: Doughnut Design for Business – Core Tool | DEAL (doughnuteconomics.org)

You could use the example in the picture above as a guide, although you will need to be more specific about how your business idea has a positive or negative impact. You can do this by searching the web for articles that support your claim.

Fill the table (if the space is not enough you can create another word document with “landscape” Layout and copy paste the table there):
