why join
The transition from a linear make-sell-dispose economy to a circular economy is one of the biggest creative challenges of our time. Brands have the power to do this. They have the responsibility and opportunity to drive business innovation and change consumer culture & consumption.
Leading circular brands embrace the circular economy as a viable response to these challenges. But how to create brand & business growth and have a positive impact on society at the same time?
“Sustainable and circular business moved from being a risk and reputation function to being a business lever function to being an innovation function.”
– Hannah Jones, CSO Nike
“Brands that don’t face the realities of the true cost of their product, I think they will be left behind.”
– Rose Marcario, CEO Patagonia
“Brands must act quickly to show consumers they can be trusted with the future of the planet and communities, as well as their own bottom lines.”
– Keith Weed, CMO Unilever
