Buying Social and Circular – Social Enterprises and Private Sector Partnerships Workshop [Upon invitation]

!! Workshop attendance is by invitation only !!

Join the BuySocCirc project workshop to dive into the opportunities and challenges of scaling up partnerships between the private sector and social enterprises.

Extending product lifetime through re-use has a significant positive social and environmental impact. Moving forward, it should be the driving force of strategies enabling Europe to transition toward a circular economy. Re-use is a powerful catalyst to create local jobs and strengthen the local economy all the while preventing resource waste and pollution. When operated by social enterprises, these activities offer additional job and training opportunities for individuals of all skill levels and backgrounds, including the most vulnerable groups in our communities.

To help establish and scale partnerships between private companies and social enterprises, to save products and materials from being thrown away prematurely, and to create local jobs, the BuySocCirc project workshop will bring together representatives from the social economy and mainstream business to discuss success factors, barriers and opportunities to scale up and develop new partnerships in the circular economy.
