Circular economy solutions can create environmental value, but to scale they must also make business and financial sense. This session will look at circular transition through the lens of finance: how sustainability, resource use, business-model resilience and transition risks increasingly influence business and financing decisions, and what makes a circular ambition credible from a financial perspective. Drawing on more than two decades of experience in banking and sustainable finance, I will explore how companies can better connect circularity with strategy, investment decisions, competitiveness and long-term value creation.
