The Circular Economy Show
Stay up to date with our latest conversations exploring the transition towards a circular economy
Streamed on 27th July 2021
The risks of continuing to operate in a linear, extractive economic model are becoming more evident by the day, affecting not just the global economy, but the financial sector that underpins it. In this episode, we'll present new evidence from Bocconi University on the de-risking effect of the circular economycircular economyA systems solution framework that tackles global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution. It is based on three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature., driven by characteristics such as resource decoupling and business model diversification, creating opportunities across sectors for investors and financial institutions.
We will be joined by Max Tellini, Head of Circular Economy at Intesa Sanpaolo, an Italian bank that has taken advantage of the circular economy as a value creation strategy, and Claudio Zara, Professor and Researcher at Bocconi University, in conversation with Emily Healy, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Finance Initiative Project Manager.
