About the Circular Economy Leadership Program

Embracing the shift to sustainability means embracing the circular economy, a movement away from a take-make-waste model of production and business, to one that is waste-free and regenerative.

As such, here you'll immerse yourself in understanding the shift to the Circular Economy, how it is affecting businesses, and what opportunities, issues and approaches for circular redesign and business development are available. 

You will also walk through the key science that underpins the circular economy, get up to speed with critical circular concepts and review circular business models that can help inform your own circular redesign strategy.

There are practical activities to complete, including a circular SWOT and redesign process to explore which circular business models fit your business case.
