What to expect

Becoming a circular business means looking at not only what you do, but how you do it. Whilst you may not be able to change your products or services from the outset, you can make immediate and impactful changes to your workplace and how you run your day-to-day operations.

We have brought together a team of experts that will enable you to learn, whatever your starting point, from different circular business models both in the workplace and the wider business environment.

The session will explore

The types of circular models and what might suit your business
What we can learn from other circular businesses including challenges they have faced implementing a circular model
What are the important factors to achieving a circular business
Returning to work post COVID-19 as an opportunity to make your workplace more sustainable
