Overview
The circular economy is powerful in the fight against climate change. Circularity means resources are not disposed after use, instead they are reintegrated into the supply chain. By changing our conception of how we produce and consume resources, we can make a substantial difference to our carbon impact and waste levels.
But circularity is about more than just products and how we use them. Circularity thinking can play a key role in any organisation’s sustainability strategy by helping them to save resources, reduce long term costs and make significant progress on the journey to Net Zero.
To unlock this potential, attend our Implementing Circularity within Your Organisation course, specifically designed for leaders and managers with and without a background in sustainability to understand how to integrate circularity into your organisation’s resource usage and overall sustainability strategy. Understand how beneficial a circular business model can be, as well as how to handle the challenges that come with transition.
Leave the session with best circularity practices and knowledge to take back to your organisation and start your circularity journey.
