The social impact of circularity: How circular fashion can deliver for people, planet, and profit – video recording

Circularity has the potential to reshape industries, reduce waste, and regenerate nature. But when it comes to the social side, is it advancing a just transition, or does it risk deepening global inequalities? This webinar discussion took a holistic approach to circularity to explore how circular systems can empower workers, foster economic resilience, and drive sustainable growth for the triple bottom line—people, planet, and profit.

Hear insights from:

• Carmen Gama, director of circularity, Eileen Fisher
• Dr Hakan Karaosman, associate professor at Cardiff University and co-founder of FReSCH
• Paul Kerssens, COO and co-founder, United Repair Centre
