Adopting a new business model for a sustainable future

Even if organizations don’t see it as a priority, there's a compelling case for adopting a sustainable, circular economy business model. It's widely seen as essential for long-term growth, profitability, investment and compliance - but what do manufacturing organizations really think about sustainability and the circular economy and are they embracing the challenge?
We approached over 100 manufacturers, in Europe and North America, for their views, asking questions such as:

  • Where are they investing?
  • What are the barriers?
  • How developed are their plans and what benefits do they expect?
  • Who are the key stakeholders?
  • What's driving their actions?
  • Which standards and targets are most important?

Read on, for the research results and more information on moving your organization to a sustainable, circular economy business model.
