The Circular Economy Advantage - Value Creation, Risk Mitigation & Operational Excellence

Introduction

The transition from a 'take-make-dispose' linear economy to a Circular Economy (‘CE’) is rapidly becoming an imperative for business resilience, financial performance, and competitiveness. The CE model focuses on maximising resource efficiency by designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. Crucially, this model begins with product design and builds resilient value chains, reducing dependence on volatile commodity markets.

This fundamental shift is driven by global megatrends: resource scarcity, mandatory sustainability targets, evolving consumer preferences, and increasingly stringent regulations, particularly across the EU and UK (e.g., Extended Producer Responsibility, 'Right to Repair').

This webinar offers a strategic primer for CxOs, outlining how to move beyond basic waste management to integrate CE principles into core business models, quantify financial opportunities (new revenue, cost savings), and proactively manage the associated legal and operational risks.

The webinar is suitable for risk, compliance and legal teams managing regulatory compliance and operational risks linked to resource use and waste as well as C-level executives, specifically Chief Financial Officers (‘CFOs’), Chief Operating Officers (‘COOs’), Heads of Strategy, Directors of Innovation, General Counsel/Legal Teams, and any role involved in long-term strategy, financial performance, and supply chain management.
