What is ESG?
ESG are a wide range of environmental, social and governance aspects that determine overall sustainability performance beyond circularity- such as carbon emissions, diversity and inclusion and leadership.
The circular economy is a specific approach that focuses on resource management, waste reduction and circular design principles to create a more sustainable and regenerative economy.
It is therefore critical for businesses to have a broader framework to address and measure environmental, social and governance issues while working to embrace the circular economy.
Why circularity?
With just 7.2% of our natural resources being reused, our existing take-make-waste economic model is unsustainable for the future. It’s time for a radical shift. In embracing a circular economy and fundamentally shifting our approach to design and consumption we not only address pressing environmental and social challenges of our time but work to thrive in a rapidly evolving sustainability landscape and contribute to building a more inclusive and sustainable world.
