Decarbonisation and the circular economy – a strategic imperative for directors

Overview

As businesses face increasing pressure to reduce emissions and embrace sustainability, directors play a critical role in steering their organisations toward a low-carbon, circular future. This session will explore how decarbonisation and circular economy principles intersect, offering practical strategies for boards to drive sustainable value creation. Through real-world case studies and actionable insights, we’ll discuss how directors can integrate circularity into governance, mitigate risks, and unlock new business opportunities in an evolving regulatory and consumer landscape.

Directors' Deep Dive events are smaller interactive discussion-style sessions where you will be encouraged to ask questions and actively contribute your perspectives.
