Sustainability Leadership Laboratories: Circular Economy - April 25, 2018

What is the circular economy? What are the drivers for moving to a circular economy, and what are the barriers and risks? What opportunities does the circular economy bring for business? How do I build the business case within my organisation? What financial analysis can be used to make the business case?

Answers to these questions will be explored at our forthcoming Circular Economy Lab, drawing on the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership’s cutting-edge report and framework Designing your approach to the circular economy and the work of the Cambridge Judge Business School’s Circular Economy Centre
