The Best of Both Worlds: Creating Sustainable Business Models
We live in unprecedented times: a global health crisis of an exceptional scale and an ongoing climate crisis with evermore pressing needs… In the midst of this dynamic, organisations are searching for the best way to navigate around these challenges. ‘Business as usual’ is not an option any longer. The circular economy has become an important concept to respond to these global crises and potentially offers organisations ‘a way out’.
This webinar discusses the circular economy and its potential for small and large organisations. We will focus on positive examples of business model innovation for the circular economy, and we discuss approaches to inspire change.
