Content
As a future professional, it is crucial to embrace the Circular Economy principles, a transformative approach that not only benefits the environment but also drives business innovation and sustainable growth.
You will be introduced into a systemic business framework designed to maximize the circular use of resources. You'll learn how this model contrasts with the traditional linear economy and explore the economic, environmental, and social benefits of circular practices. We will work with lectures, case studies and guest speakers.
Why is this so important in a business programme? Companies, government bodies, social and nonprofit organizations are increasingly adopting circular ways of working. Understanding these concepts will make you a valuable asset to any of them. Young professionals equipped with circular economy knowledge and familiar with tools and practices are ‘wanted' on the job market.
This course empowers you to be part of the solution to some of the most pressing environmental and business challenges.
