Circular economy and inclusive society

Sustainable business is crucial to the future of humanity and our planet. It is the starting point of every organization in the 21st century. Starting principles are sustainable organization and templates for vital business models. The creation of value – social, financial and ecological – is central to this.

How do you develop sustainable, vital business models and how do they work in daily practice?

Our economic system is broken and it is time to reset. The global pandemic, economic crisis, and social turmoil — as well as the accelerating climate emergency — have revealed a deeper, more fundamental problem: Our current economic system rewards maximizing wealth over wellbeing and prioritizes individualism over interdependence. The linear economy and shareholder capitalism has pushed society and planet towards the abyss. How do we transform our society, businesses and markets to a more sustainable and circular, or even better the regenerative and inclusive economy? How do we ensure that we produce and consume within the limits of the planet and why does this not happen without a fundamentel decline in consumption? What is the ideal framework for a fair, more inclusive economy and what does this mean for governments, businesses, society and our lives?

 

From moment to MOVEMENT

This unique inspiriment and confronting experience reveals the opportunity to reimagine and redesign what comes next. A systematic reset of our economic system requires integrated activities to drive behavioral, cultural, and structural change. This fascinating keynote, workshop or boardroom intervention inspire and equips leaders, entrepreneurs and other game changers  with a proven framework and effective actions to accelerate their transition to stakeholder capitalism. Great examples of how governments, business and people can shift the cultural narrative about their role and responsibility in society. Only in radical interdependence we can realigns incentives and facilitates a supportive public policy environment.

We need a more fair and just economy that works for everyone and for the long term. Based on a collective vision of shared wellbeing on a healthy planet. This inspiriment reveals the imperatives for the 21st century and the design objectives for the economic RESET: design for interdependence; invest for justice; account for stakeholders.

For each imperative the emerging pathways will be illuminated, that come from a deep and long research and from great thinkers and policy makers, showing a direction of travel and mindset for decision makers across the private sector, government, and civil society. A vision and vital solution that will evolve over time.

How can we improve trade and investment flows through modernization of international rules and treaties, national policies and trade facilitation strategies? Or is this impossible because the drawbacks of globalization show that aligning global production and consumption systems is to difficult?

What are our limiting beliefs and what blocks us from putting the common good first in radical dependence? How do we ensure that our leaders actually lead? In the right direction of the Commons? So that we transform from a distorting geopolitics to a shaping global and even galactic biosphere politics.

The 17 SDGs are the compass of humanity and starting point of every organization in the 21st century. Together they form the intent based on concrete targets and clear indicators. How do you implement the SDGs in your organization, work and life?

This unique inspiriment can be customized for specific events and target groups. Below some examples of customized sessions:

Also the role that businesses, governments and society has to play in realizing the seventeen goals are discussed. The opportunities that the SGS’s represent for business is not only eye-opening but also very inspiring, also because outlines and actions are suggested how individuals and the companies they work for can get more involved. Successful employee engagement and empowerment around the SDGs will be essential if we are to successfully scale up our efforts during the critical decade ahead.

Business has a critical role to play as a source of finance, a driver of innovation and technology and an engine of economic growth and employment. As much as the SDGs need business, long-term business success also hinges on the realization of the SDG’s. During this customized inspiriment the executives will understand the implications of the SDG’s across four key pillars:

• Risk of Inaction, doing nothing is a very costly option

• Governance & Transparency, meaning better information leads to better decisions
• The Need for Collaboration, realizing the SDG’s is beyond the reach of one company.
