The focal point of the circular week is European Sustainability Congress 2024. One of the biggest and most prestigious conference in Poland regarding circular economy topic. Event is targeted to public administration, local municipalities, companies, CSR, sustainable managers, local administration, start-ups, media. Due to broad promotion it will reach as well general public.
Main objective is to educate about circular economy and sustainable development and promote sustainable business’s and solutions. We would like to show what advantage could be achieved by closing the loop and how sustainable consumption and production can have positive impact on environment, biodiversity loss and climate change. On the other hand through Circular Week we would like to promote effective, innovative, green solution and effective systemic changes. It is about rising awareness, behaviour change and about involvement and engagement in the circular transition.
