Circular Economy as an Enabler for Responsible Banking

This report is aimed at providing a general overview on operationalising the interlinkages between circular economy and climate, nature, pollution, and healthy and inclusive economies, encouraging banks to embed circularity into internal policies and processes, engage with clients in their transition to circular business models, redirect financial flows towards circular solutions and opportunities, and advocate for mainstreaming circularity.
