Implementing a Circular Economy Aligned to ISO 59020 & UN SDGs

Description

PROGRAM OUTLINE

A circular economy training typically aims to shift mindsets and equip participants with the knowledge and tools to reduce waste, maximize resource efficiency, and rethink traditional “take-make-dispose” models, covering primary objectives such as raising awareness on the principles and urgency of moving away from linear economic models, as well as highlighting global environmental challenges and opportunities for sustainable development.

 

We can also build knowledge and understanding of the core concepts of reuse, repair, refurbish, recycle, and regenerative design, and illustrate how circular systems work in practice across industries like fashion, food, technology, and construction.

 

Help participants align circular economy initiatives with national sustainability goals and regulations. Enable organizations to develop roadmaps and action plans for circular transformation.

 

Inspire participants to rethink consumer habits, production methods, and corporate strategies, and foster a culture of innovation and collaboration across supply chains.

 

Lastly, the class will encourage a holistic understanding of interconnected systems—economy, environment, and society.

 

COURSE DURATION

1 DAY

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the training, participants are expected to:

  • Understand and articulate the principles and importance of the circular economy
  • Identify opportunities for circularity within operations, products, and policies
  • Develop strategies and implement circular business models
  • Navigate regulatory environments and measure circular performance
  • Communicate circular economy concepts effectively to stakeholders

 

TARGET AUDIENCE

Sustainability professionals, supply chain managers, product designers, policymakers, consultants, and business leaders interested in circular strategies.

 

This training applies to all types of organizations, regardless of their size, products, or services. It is also intended for all organizations in the public and private sectors.
