Case Study
If global economies are to prosper and support increasing populations, the world must shift to a circular model. In this ESG Integration in Action white paper, we demonstrate how our in-house research and stewardship activities evaluate three principal themes of the circular economy—sustainable agriculture, plastics, and the energy transition.
Sustainability in the Agriculture Sector
The vast majority of economic activities are built on a linear model. If global economies are to prosper and support population growth, the world must transition to a circular economy.
The first episode of our Circular Economy Series discusses the crucial role that sustainable agriculture plays—including key areas of focus for investors.
Plastics
The vast majority of economic activities are built on a linear model. If global economies are to prosper and support population growth, the world must transition to a circular economy.
The second episode of our Circular Economy Series explores the problematic world of plastics pollution—and what some companies are doing to address the issue.
The Energy Transition
The vast majority of economic activities are built on a linear model. If global economies are to prosper and support population growth, the world must transition to a circular economy.
The third and final episode of our Circular Economy Series discusses the importance of the circular economy in relation to the energy transition.
