How can systemic impact in Circular Economy be created? How does the current Circular Economy landscape in Germany contribute to systemic impact creation? And which role do Circular Social Businesses play?

Over the past months, Yunus Environment Hub and Bertelsmann Stiftung explored these questions in depth. The results provide comprehensive insights into:

  • The German startup and social business landscape and its contributions to the environmental and social impact dimensions in the Circular Economy
  • Characteristics of Circular Social Businesses
  • Impact pathways and principles for driving systemic change through Circular Economy
