The Sustainable Transformation Seminars Spring 2022 series is held monthly on a Friday each month. The seminar series will continue to be online, with the hope they can turn into physical seminars as well in the future.

About the seminar

Embedding circular economy principles in new product developments and if possible, even in existing product designs is the way to go for a sustainable future. During the seminar, I will share some of my continuously evolving learnings on circular economy in a product environment, which I found intriguing, interesting, and challenging, but overall, a highly fruitful, motivating and satisfying learning experience till date.

I will highlight the need of setting a good ambition level when implementing circularity and a generic holistic approach to achieving your ambitions, considering the pillars of “People”, “Technology” and “Way of Working”. During the talk, I will also very briefly touch upon ABB’s circularity framework and motivation.
