Unlocking the $4.5 Trillion Opportunity

The transition to a circular economy presents a $4.5 trillion opportunity by 2030. Board directors play a crucial role in steering their companies towards decoupling growth from resource consumption and environmental degradation. This approach keeps materials in use, reducing waste, emissions, and resource extraction.

Circularity: Essential for Achieving Net-Zero Goals

Embracing circularity is critical for achieving net-zero emissions commitments. While renewable energy and efficiency improvements address 55% of required emissions reductions, the remaining 45% hinges on transforming production and consumption practices. Circular strategies like durable product design, material recovery, and sharing platforms directly address this challenge.

Leading the Charge: Board Directors as Circular Economy Catalysts

Board directors drive organizations toward adopting the circular economy. Their leadership is vital for setting ambitious yet achievable circularity targets, embracing innovative business models, and fostering cross-industry collaboration.

Circular Guidance for Board Directors

In 2023, the World Economic Forum emphasized the need for board-level guidance on circular economy practices. In collaboration with Accenture, they developed the “Climate Governance and the Circular Economy: A Primer for Boards,” highlighting the pivotal role of board directors and the substantial business value of circular models.
