There is a saying that it takes a village to raise a child, reminding us that meaningful duties that have far-reaching impacts are best done through teamwork rather than alone. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that companies and organizations, who strive to make the world a cleaner and healthier place to live, are creating powerful partnerships to tackle the issue of E-waste.
The Members
Named by Forbes in 2018 as the company with the highest score in environmental efforts, professional services company Accenture has continued forging a path of recycling and reuse methods that few businesses can match. To help inspire other companies to invest in the reduction of their carbon footprint, Accenture partnered with the Forum of Young Global Leaders and the World Economic Forum to recognize the recycling efforts of businesses worldwide and reward them for their efforts with The Circulars Award.
Going in Circles
The Circulars Award focuses on much more than just recycling and reuse. Based on Accenture’s global challenge for organizations and individuals to implement a circular business model, The Circulars Award was created to provide guidelines for an entity to follow. The parameters that were set forth not only support the growth of a business, they also instruct on how to succeed while reducing waste through various methods.
In a circular approach to commerce, a company would:
- Create a supply chain of goods made from reused, recyclable, or bio-based materials.
- Establish ways in which a product can be used by multiple sources throughout its life.
- Encourage consumers to repair goods through offered services, rather than replace them.
- Design products for longevity and continued use, rather than enabling easy disposal.
- Implement strategies to decrease and reuse production waste by-products.
Leading by example and encouraging others to innovate, Accenture’s power-team has proven that businesses can thrive in this non-linear approach.
An Invitation to Join
After much research, Accenture identified that trillions of dollars in profits were readily available to companies that were willing to shift perspective and take a less wasteful approach to trade. This invitation to join in their efforts has been accepted by many organizations throughout the world, but these courageous pioneers are still in the minority.
