Embracing the Circular Economy

The circular economy is transforming the way businesses operate, focusing on reducing waste, maximizing resource efficiency, and creating sustainable value. This program explores how organizations can transition from linear business models to circular ones, fostering innovation and driving long-term sustainability.

By embracing circular principles, businesses can improve their resource management, reduce costs, and enhance their environmental and social impact. Participants will learn to implement circular practices such as product design for reuse, recycling, and creating closed-loop systems that minimize waste and encourage the continual use of resources. This shift not only contributes to sustainability goals but also offers new growth opportunities and competitive advantages in an increasingly resource-conscious marketplace.

The course runs for 5 weeks, with a manageable time commitment of around 4 hours per week. The learning experience is primarily built around live, cohort-based sessions delivered in high-impact formats - designed to fit into even the busiest schedules. These are complemented by light self-paced individual work, allowing you to engage with the material at your own rhythm and reinforce the learnings from the live sessions.
