Much has been said about the economic and environmental benefits of the circular economy, but what about the social ones? How is the livelihood and wellbeing of particular communities affected? What about social norms, consumer behaviour and the social trade-offs that lie at the heart of the circular economy?

At the Electronics Club of the Consumer Insight Action Panel (CIAP) initiative CSCP will be looking for pathways that address social implications in the circularity journey. Both the EU Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan put the stress on fairness and inclusion as important hallmarks for Europe’s sustainability ambitions. To enhance the discussion on these aspects, the CSCP will share its CIAP insights at the Circular Week 2021. Join the interactive sessions to bring your perspectives and ideas on the social impacts of circularity:

• Workshop (Circular Week): 14 October, 10-11:30am CEST – Register here
• Workshop (Mazovia Circular Congress): 15 October, time TBC – Register here.

The workshops are free of charge and participants can attend one or both of them, with the second building upon and presenting main highlights of the first.

Are you on a journey to circularity? Have you thought about the social implications that come along? Reach out and let’s collaborate to ensure that circularity leads to more sustainability, but also that the circularity transition itself is inclusive, fair, and just for everyone!
