The circular economy is a systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution.
Achieving sustainability requires moving from a traditional Take-Make-Waste economy to a “circular economy”, which is based on the principles of designing out waste and pollution. It requires a fundamental shift in how we conceive not only product development but the very business models that drive our organisations.
This programme has been designed to help business professionals understand the growing business case for sustainable solutions and what the future of business looks like with sustainability in mind. As a participant, you will also learn how to manage and lead a sustainable business by incorporating circular economy principles into your strategies to support sustainable growth.
