The overexploitation of natural resources required to achieve economic growth and development has negatively impacted the environment and adversely affected their availability and cost. So, it is easy to see why the idea of a circular economy, which offers new ways to create a more sustainable economic growth model, is taking hold across the globe. This programme is designed to help you understand the growing business case for sustainable solutions and learn how to manage and grow a sustainable business by incorporating circular economy principles into your strategies.
To maintain the livability of our world, we must double global circularity from 8.6% to 17%.
The percentage of business leaders who indicate that consumers will likely hold them responsible for their environmental impact, an increase of 12 points from 2018.
The projected value of global sustainability assets by 2025—also equal to more than one-third of the estimated $140.5 trillion in assets under management.
Define sustainability and its link to overconsumption and overproduction from a business and economic standpoint. Describe multiple metrics for measuring sustainability, including the triple bottom line (TBL); environmental, social and governance (ESG) and the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Define the fundamentals of a circular economy and the characteristics of a circular business model. Describe the business benefits of transitioning to a circular business model.
Learn how to build a sustainable culture in organisations, including how to incorporate other business strategies into the process. Recognise and make plans to avoid the potential pitfalls that arise when changing organisational culture.
Analyse how circularity enables sustainability, describe the various other enablers of sustainability and learn how to design waste out of your business processes.
Learn how sustainability can drive innovation and describe innovations that have improved sustainability. Use the ReSOLVE framework as a springboard for creating sustainable innovations.
Describe the characteristics of sustainable finance and learn how the impact of investments are measured.

Identify stakeholders in your organisation, learn how you would engage them and include the change management techniques that could be employed to ensure a successful transition from a traditional to circular business model.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of a planned obsolescence model and learn how to plan a circular business model considering these factors.
