Accelerating circularity: The Role of Business in Moving from Linear to Circular Economies

Join us on 7 October, 14:00-15:30 CEST, for this exciting deep-dive into business action and exploration of productive and sustainable ways of creating employment and tapping into new markets and skills.

IOE, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are organizing a side-event on 7 October, 14:00-15:30 CEST, in the context of the World Circular Economy Forum, on the occasion of the launch of the GEO for Business Brief on Circular Economy and offering the latest insights on the employment and environmental aspects of circular economy from top UN officials as well as showcasing best practices and sharing successful examples from business leaders.

Resource productivity is a hugely underexploited source of possible future wealth, competiveness and business revival. The circular economy can create employment, business opportunities and economic growth while increasing sustainability and resilience of companies and consumers. This event will take a deep dive into the practicalities of circular approaches for the private sector, why it is important for businesses to take this approach, the employment and labour market impacts of a circular shift, and the necessity of accelerating this action in the current global context of environmental and economic crises.

Join us for this exciting deep-dive into business action and exploration of productive and sustainable ways of creating employment and tapping into new markets and skills.
