create social and economic value through applying Circular Economy approaches

The Future of Business
in the Circular Economy

Why attend?

Learn to process, engage and adapt your business
to take advantage of a sustainable future.

This breakfast is expected to be the first instalment of a series of events across greater Adelaide and South Australia designed to educate, inform, and collaboratively motivate SMEs to actively transform their businesses practices to become more sustainable.

Profit from the Circular Economy by securing the future of your business. The Circular Economy is a $210 billion opportunity for Australia alone, and one that can help businesses future-proof their operations, reduce spend on energy and waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions and more.

Our aim is to link the 3 levels of government together with sector and business organisations to increase the speed and uptake of greater sustainable involvement for all businesses.

The focus is working from the business community upwards, as most have limited understanding and mindful adaption to the changes needed in transitioning towards the future economy, and South Australia risks losing the advantage which a moderate size economy like our can generate.

About the Circular Economy

A Circular Economy decouples economic activity from the consumption of finite resources. It is based on three principles, driven by design:

Eliminate waste and pollution
Circulate products and materials (at their highest value)
Regenerate nature

The Circular Economy is underpinned by a transition to renewable energy and materials. It is a resilient system that is good for business, people and the environment.

Circular Economy approaches are being adopted by businesses and governments around the world as a way to align both economic and environmental outcomes.

Waste and other negative environmental impacts are ‘designed out’ of economic systems, through buying better, providing more products as services, and capturing the value of materials that would otherwise be lost.

About the Northern Economic Leaders

Northern Economic Leaders (NEL) is an apolitical business leaders’ network that supports growth in northern Adelaide both socially and economically.

NEL provides a forum for leaders to share their collective knowledge, influence government policy and bring together firms to make northern Adelaide the best place in South Australia to run a business.

Operating as a group since 2007 this group has now formalised its operations to be an incorporated association (11 April 2017) operating regionally across northern Adelaide.

This follows strong interest in having stronger business leadership in northern Adelaide and with the development of the Northern Economic Plan and a cross-government focus on northern Adelaide, there was a strong push from business to formalise.
