  • Resumen

  • Our current linear, growth-based economy uses vast quantities of resources to make things which we consume and then throw away. This system depletes finite raw materials and produces vast quantities of waste. In this episode of Inside Impact Investing, fund manager Rosl Veltmeijer discusses how we can turn our linear economy into a circular one with Professor in Sustainable Business Nancy Bocken (Maastricht University) and Chief Economist Hans Stegeman (Triodos Bank). Together, they analyse the role of the financial sector in enabling this transition which goes against the logic of our current market economy and forces us to fundamentally rethink the logic of markets, including the role of investors therein.


    Paper: Pursuing profitability in slow fashion


    Fast fashion is a prime example of our current linear economy with a business model relying on consumers endlessly buying more clothes. Its circular opposite is slow fashion, which embodies products that are made to last, and can be serviced to extend the lifespan. But can slow fashion also be profitable? Read the paper by Nancy Bocken and Sasha Sarokin.
