Embark on your sustainable transformation with circular business models
In a world dominated by traditional linear value chains, the ‘take, make, waste’ approach is reaching its limitations. Dwindling resources, fragile supply chains, and increasing regulatory pressure underscore the imperative for a shift towards a circular, sustainable business future. However, many businesses struggle to unlock the economic value of circularity and its potential for realizing environmental and business impact simultaneously.

IMD’s Creating Value in the Circular Economy program translates the theoretical promise of the circular economy into tangible and actionable business opportunities. You will learn how to leverage circular principles to create a more resilient, regenerative, and competitive business model. The program goes beyond theory, delving into practical aspects such as organizational design, technology utilization, and the critical role of ecosystem thinking in implementing circular business models. From rethinking the notion of waste to preserving material value, you will explore circular innovation opportunities across your entire value chain.

Throughout the program, you will apply your insights to practical assignments, worksheets, and an implementation project, ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge and tools to drive sustainable transformation within your organization.
