Circular Economy taking Impact Mainstream

The circular economy can be activated to reduce poverty for families in emerging markets. It takes collaborative action and private sector investment where once only aid funds provided support. In this session, you will learn about how impact investments into anchor companies using circular economy and regenerative agriculture principles in emerging markets can change the lives of vulnerable families and communities without using aid funding. You will hear about investment models that work in the mainstream economy, how we can determine long-term impact reaching the most vulnerable communities, and the multiplier effect of micro-franchising to ensure both a viable model to scale the business profits and continued impacts for the most vulnerable. The owner of an anchor company from an emerging market country will share how this model has changed his business trajectory all while using principles that care for the people, planet, and have continued profit margins after the investment has been repaid.
