Why This Program Exists

Circular Economy Is No Longer Optional.
But Implementation Is Still Rare.

Circular economy is now embedded in regulation, ESG reporting requirements, investor scrutiny, and supply chain expectations. Yet inside many organisations:

✗

Circular strategies remain disconnected from business decisions

✗

Sustainability teams struggle to secure cross-functional buy-in

✗

Reporting exists without implementation depth

✗

Pilot projects fail to scale beyond initial rollout

✗

Metrics are unclear or poorly aligned to business performance

The gap is not awareness. Most sustainability professionals understand circular economy principles well. The gap is implementation capability — the ability to translate circular concepts into strategies that hold up inside real organisations, real procurement processes, and real leadership conversations.

This program is built to close that gap.

Who This Is For

Built for Working Professionals
with 3+ Years of Experience.

This cohort is designed for professionals who are already responsible for sustainability and ESG outcomes inside their organisations — and want to move from understanding circular economy to confidently implementing it.

🌿

Sustainability Managers

Leading sustainability strategy or operations inside mid-to-large organisations.

📊

ESG Professionals & Reporting Leads

Responsible for ESG disclosure, BRSR reporting, or investor sustainability queries.

🤝

CSR & Responsible Sourcing Managers

Managing CSR portfolios or supply chain sustainability mandates.

⚙️

Supply Chain & Operations Leaders

Navigating EPR compliance, circular design, or waste reduction targets.

💼

ESG & Sustainability Consultants

Building advisory capability to serve clients on circular economy implementation.

🏭

Manufacturing & FMCG Professionals

Working in sectors where circular economy regulation and EPR obligations are accelerating.

Not suited for: Students or early-career professionals without organisational sustainability experience. This program assumes you are already navigating real sustainability decisions and want to strengthen your implementation capability.

What You Will Walk Away With

From Awareness to Authority.

By the end of 6 weeks, you will not just understand circular economy — you will be able to implement it.

01

Design Circular Strategies

Build structured circular strategies aligned to corporate priorities — not just sustainability frameworks.

02

Build Implementation Roadmaps

Translate circular concepts into practical, phased roadmaps that work inside real organisational constraints.

03

Integrate with ESG & Regulation

Align circular initiatives with ESG reporting, EPR obligations, and evolving regulatory requirements.

04

Secure Cross-Functional Buy-in

Navigate procurement, operations, and finance stakeholders — and build the internal case for circular investment.

05

Develop Meaningful KPIs

Set circular performance metrics that are credible, measurable, and aligned to business performance — not just sustainability reporting.

06

Present with Confidence

Walk into leadership conversations with a business-aligned circular strategy you can defend — not just a sustainability presentation.

Program Structure

6 Weeks. One Deep-Dive
Session Per Week.

Each session is 2–2.5 hours live, with light between-session work to apply concepts to your own organisational context.

Week 01

The Circular Economy Landscape

Where circularity stands today — regulation, ESG frameworks, investor expectations, and the implementation gap most organisations face.

Week 02

Circular Strategy Design

How to design circular strategies that are aligned to business priorities — not just sustainability principles.

Week 03

Supply Chain & Material Flows

Mapping material flows, identifying circular opportunities, and working with supply chain stakeholders on EPR and closed-loop systems.

Week 04

Implementation & Stakeholder Navigation

Turning strategy into action — managing cross-functional resistance, building internal coalitions, and phasing rollout effectively.

Week 05

Measurement, Reporting & ESG Integration

Designing KPIs that hold up, integrating circular metrics into ESG and BRSR reporting, and communicating performance to leadership.

Week 06

Capstone Presentations & Peer Review

Present your circular strategy to the cohort and instructor — receive structured feedback and refine your final deliverable.

🎯

Capstone Strategy Project

Every participant develops a structured Circular Economy Strategy for their own organisation or a selected industry. You graduate with a portfolio-ready strategy document and implementation roadmap — something you can actually use.

"This program distils 17 years of corporate circular economy experience into 6 weeks of structured, implementation-ready learning."

What Makes This Different

Not an Academic Overview.
Built from Real Execution.

🏭

17 Years of Corporate Experience

Built from leading circular economy and sustainability strategy inside Coca-Cola and Tetra Pak — across FMCG, packaging, and manufacturing environments.

🎯

Implementation-First, Not Theory-First

Every session is structured around what actually works inside real organisations — not academic frameworks designed for classrooms.

👥

Small Cohort, Real Conversations

Limited to 20 professionals. You will have direct access to the instructor and genuine peer exchange — not a webinar with 500 attendees.

📄

A Real Deliverable at the End

You leave with a portfolio-ready Circular Economy Strategy — not a certificate and a folder of slides you'll never open again.
