1 Week To Go! Register Now – Transitioning to a Circular Economy Webinar Series

Our current take-make-waste linear economy is fuelling volatility in the price and supply of key resources, as well as posing a range of operational, legal, and environmental risks for businesses. Companies that act now to embed circular economy principles into their business models and enable more responsible production and consumption can future-proof their business from supply chain disruptions, decouple business success from greenhouse gas emissions and resource use, and work towards restoring natural ecosystems.
To support companies to become more circular, the UN Global Compact Network UK is launching a new six-part ‘Transitioning to a Circular Economy’ webinar series, starting in one week! Running from 8 February to 19 April, this series will take a deep dive into the business opportunities and challenges linked to transitioning to a circular economy for six key issue areas.
Sessions include:
- Built Environment (8 February, 14:00-15:30 GMT)
- Critical Metals and Minerals (22 February, 14:00-15:30 GMT)
- Electronics (8 March, 14:00-15:30 GMT)
- Packaging (22 March, 14:00-15:30 GMT)
- Food and Agriculture (5 April, 14:00-15:30 BST)
- Fashion and Textiles (19 April, 14:00-15:30 BST)
Join over 4000 registrants and confirmed speakers from Fairphone, Dell, DS Smith, British Land, Arup, Fashion for Good, SUEZ, Groupe Renault, Reckitt, ISG – and more – to learn how leading businesses are driving the circular economy transition and unlocking new business opportunities in the process.
