How can IFIs be a key lever for the circular economy transition: a white paper and an event to discuss about it
In the context of COP27, Circle Economy organized the 17th of November, the panel-discussion dedicated to the launch of the white paper UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN THE CIRCULAR TRANSITION.


In a collaborative effort, several International Financial Institutions and other partners have worked for six months on a roadmap for IFIs to drive the circular transition. The network, commissioned by the Dutch government and developed by Circle Economy, hosts content specialists from Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Chatham House, UNEP-FI and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, together with technical representatives from leading international financial institutions and private banks, all of which work directly on the circular economy strategy of their respective institutions.
The Circular Economy team from Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center have collaborated to the working group, together with several teams from other international financial institutions.
Intesa Sanpaolo Innovation Center will be taking part in the meeting, with Luigi Eugenio Riccardo - Head of Circular Economy Desk, who will hold an intervention related to the role of the Circular Economy in redefining the concept of development.
