Diversifying the circular economy: how inclusion advances supply chain circularity and sustainability - #Women4Business

Room: Purple Stage

Description

A circular economy transformation, in which materials are reused, recovered and restored, is essential to sustainably manage humanity’s resources. But the poverty, lack of education and access to resources that currently affect women in supply chains, as well as their vulnerability to climate disaster, hinder sustainability and circularity. What is the role of supply chains and the women within them in a circular economy transition? How can inclusion advance supply-chain circularity, and how can women use their leverage to take the lead on this issue?
