I was privileged to be at our Growth 35 event this week, exploring how the transition to net zero can turbo charge the UK economy, inspired by our key note speaker Mark Carney. A decarbonised economy is inevitable and will be a right to do business in the future, but we are going to have to be bold and focussed to get there in a way that drives maximum growth and allows greater investment into other parts of the economy. With the Circular Economy being a key pillar of any decarbonisation strategy and a source of supply chain resilience as we go through the energy transition, it was reassuring to see it feature in so many parts of the discussion. Lots of that discussion had already moved from ideas to action, that said it was clear that many organisations are still working through how to embrace circularity as part of their journey. The good news is this is only the beginning – Deloitte will be driving a programme of activity over the next year focused on moving forward the actions identified today. So expect more to follow…

I was privileged to moderate a panel at PharmaPack last week on Circularity in Drug Delivery and Packaging. It was a fun and informative session, due to the quality of the panellists and great audience engagement. Some takeaways from me were: - There are a lot of myths and preconceptions out there about what is possible and we shouldn’t be afraid to challenge them. - We need to think about this systemically, and consider interventions across the total care pathway. - Simplification of designs and materials is key, but to do that we need to embrace and inform regulations and come together collabratively with others to do that.

The transition to a low carbon economy requires critical minerals to create the products and infrastructure (from batteries to solar panels) needed. No wonder Critical Minerals were a prominent feature for policy makers at COP28. Only through embracing Circular Economy principles will we be able to manage the surge in demand for these materials and their supply chains in a sustainable, resilient and just way. With the advent of regulations driving digital products passports, understanding where these critical minerals are in the things we make and use, will better help us recover and reuse them. Looking forward to sharing more in ‘24 as we continue to build a community around these important topics. And with my new found love for video blogs expect more of these to follow… https://lnkd.in/eMxVRNcM
