Speakers at Summit 2020 included business leaders such as Barclays Group CEO Jes Staley, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Danone CEO Emmanuel Faber, DS Smith Group Chief Executive Miles Roberts, Inter IKEA CSO Lena Pripp-Kovac, Nestlé CEO Mark Schneider, Solvay CEO Ilham Kadri, and Unilever CEO Alan Jope — alongside policymakers such as European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Frans Timmermans, and advocate Lily Cole, among others.
Together, we discussed why the circular economy is more relevant than ever, with learnings from the Covid-19 crisis, and how we can build a resilient recovery following the pandemic. We talked about the role of government and business in leading the transition to a circular economy — and the need to step up, not step back.
The event was held online and open to every employee across our Network. The sessions were recorded and are now available to everyone — so please do watch our headline sessions above and explore our Summit 2020 Playlist on YouTube.
