The de-risking effect of the circular economy on investments

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 economy, 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.

The title for this episode is: Redefining growth with a circular economy. Economics can be a powerful tool for change. Defining economic growth by prosperity, job creation, and resilience rather than GDP, can enable people and the environment to thrive, and greenhouse gas emissions, waste, and pollution to become a thing of the past. To achieve this requires a redesign of our economic system and for both the public and private sectors to take transformative action. This episode covers how this can be done. From goal setting to which influential metrics to track, and how the principles of the circular economy are being applied.

The title for this episode is: Time to act on climate change: we need a circular economy. With businesses and governments alike setting targets to collectively achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, the question remains how are they going to achieve them? While vital, efforts will need to go beyond the transition to renewable energy. To fix the climate, we need to fix the economy. This episode covers the interconnected nature of solutions to the climate crisis and how businesses can make and measure progress.

In this episode, we zoom in to just a few of these innovations and zoom out to see how they are transforming the system that they are a part of.

The title for this episode is: A Circular North America It is a unique moment for the circular economy in North America. The region is emerging from the disruption caused by the pandemic, policymakers across the US, Canada, and Mexico have marked climate change & the environment as a priority, and business leadership on the circular economy in the region is at an all-time high. In this episode, we will share stories on how the circular economy is emerging in the region, celebrate the progress made, and explore where we go from here. This episode is a part of the fifth annual World Circular Economy Forum hosted online from Canada on 13-15 September 2021.

The Circular Economy Show is a fortnightly discussion and debate around how we can move from a linear take-make-waste economy towards a circular economy.

In each episode, our hosts are joined by inspiring businesses, policymakers, academics, and designers to discuss how circular economy solutions are being scaled, at speed, to tackle global challenges and benefit business, society, and the environment.

Throughout 2021 we will be bringing you engaging conversations on topics including circular design, measuring circular economy performance at company level, financing the circular economy, and regenerative food production solutions to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss.
