Four Challenges of Sustainable Consumption World Economic Forum
The common goal "To place sustainability and the vision of closed loop systems and life cycle thinking at the heart of business models"
Four Challenges Involving three stakeholders
Challenge 1: Engaging Consumers What does it take to mobilise people on sustainable consumption and how can this be done while creating long-term value and market relevance?
Challenge 2: Lifecycle Metrics How can companies identify strategic opportunities for tangible investments through “lifecycle thinking” to enable closed loop business models?
Challenge 3: Exchanging Innovation How can innovation and sustainable consumption build trust among key stakeholders on how IP, know-how, and technology can reinforce sustainability strategies?
Challenge 4: Policies What could be the policies to accelerate appropriate business models and the business transition to “closed loops” strategies.
The 5 principles to address challenges • Innovation • Collaboration • Investment • Values • Leadership
Companies taking the lead on sustainability will be market makers rather than market takers.
