Today is #CircularMonday! 🌍 The campaign, which always happens the Monday before #BlackFriday, was founded in Sweden in 2017. It's a fantastic initiative encouraging us to think less about the huge consumerism at this time of year which has negative environmental impacts, but more about being sensible and circular with our choices. 💬 How can you participate? 🛠️ Repair or upcycle something old instead of buying new. 💚 Share, rent, or borrow items you don’t use often. ♻️ Shop pre-loved or second-hand goods. 📢 Spread the word and inspire others to adopt a circular mindset using the hashtag #circularmonday! 👉 Access the database here to see which businesses are participating and can help make your decisions more circular: https://lnkd.in/dBRKqup #circularmonday #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Circularity #Upcycling #Recycling #Consumerism #ZeroWaste #GreenBusiness

Privileged to close the remarkable @University of Exeter Business School’s Circular Economy Masterclass today ⚪️👨🏫 This session is a culmination of six weeks exploring the circular economy with the Exeter Centre for Circular Economy and is supported by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Business leaders from around the world leave with practical advice on implementing circularity in their own organisations. I’m truly honoured to be invited by Professors peter hopkinson and Fiona Charnley to use Riversimple as an inspirational case study on what a circular future could look like at the end of the course. We’re not just about designing vehicles – but also a system that provides them truly sustainably, along with our Future Guardian governance that reconciles profit with long term value creation. The Masterclass is running next year, too – take a look https://lnkd.in/exwxV8sJ #WholeSystemDesign #ThinkCircular #CircularEconomy #CircularBusiness
