Is sustainability or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) important for your community? Have you been wondering how to approach sustainability or the circular economy in your region?

A recent study from McKinsey found that more than 90% of S&P 500 companies now publish ESG reports, and 70% of Russell 1000 companies do the same. An E&Y survey last year of 500 C-suite leaders from Fortune 1000 companies found that 87% of all respondents believe sustainability and ESG initiatives are very to extremely important. If sustainability is not on your radar, maybe it should be.

The world of sustainability can quickly become very complex. However, engaging in circular economy initiatives for economic developers doesn’t have to be. Embracing sustainability and leveraging circular economy principles will help make your community more attractive to a wide range of businesses as the transition to a greener and cleaner economy continues.

Economic developers in Australia have been incorporating circular economy into their programs over the last decade. Join us for this webinar to hear how economic developers approach sustainability and engage in the circular economy in Australia. Practical case studies and examples will be provided to demystify sustainability and offer easy tips for embracing sustainability in your economic development program.
