The focus of the webinar was on the challenges that circular transformation and development of circular business models face. We dealt with different perspectives in a methodological way: What are the challenges and particularities from the point of view of companies, banks and private investors? How do the pandemic and global economic repercussions influence financing of circular opportunities?

We got to know the Circularity Assessment Score tool (or CAS), which helps the companies in defining their level of circularity and the type of a business model from the point of departure in managing risks and searching for the most appropriate forms of financing.

You can access the CAS questionnaire here and request your Quick Circularity Assessment Report.
