How To Make The Circular Economy Work For Your Organization

Circular economy is the new net zero for organizations in terms of commitments. Forrester predicted that more than a third of Global Fortune 100 firms will commit to circular economy goals. But questions remain, including: How do you realize the value from investments? How do you define circular economy in the context of your organization and industry to address the material aspects of sustainability? How do you invest in various tools and processes? How should you work with vendors? What frameworks should you use? How will you know if your efforts are successful, and what constitutes success?We will explore these questions and more with the goal of understanding the ROI in circularity initiatives and sustainability investments.
