Our take-make-waste system is no longer working for businesses, people or the environment.
It's for that reason, the circular economy, is rising rapidly to the top of business leaders & policymakers' agendas. The new way forward? Restorative & regenerative ways to design & use resources.
Embracing this transformation will unlock billion dollar economic opportunities. But it requires action from everyone & everything: businesses, governments, individuals, our cities, products & our jobs. Only then can we ensure prosperity for business & our planet.
Join us during United Nations Climate Week for a dynamic discussion in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) where you will learn:
What is the circular economy?
What is the ROI on embracing a circular business model?
How is the market systematically rewarding companies with an edge in circular business practices?
Have consumer-products & fashion companies begun to make this shift? What did they do to get started? And what kinds of results are they seeing?
Will moving toward a circular economy require changes in consumer behavior?
