Multi-asset broker Vantage today launched the second episode of video series, The Vantage View, centred on the circular economy.
The Vantage View continues to break new ground, highlighting the latest key trends and thought provoking subjects that are transforming the economic landscape, backed by the research and support from Bloomberg Media Studios.
The new episode features Dr Seeram Ramakrishna, Professor and Director of the Centre for Nanotechnology and Sustainability, National University of Singapore. Dr Ramakrishna explores the difference between the linear economy which the modern economy is based on, and the circular economy which offers a greater benefit to society.
Dr Ramakrishna delves into why companies within the financial sectors are adopting circular practices to diversify and mitigate risks, while presenting ways in which retail investors can invest in the circular economy and make an impact with their dollar.
“The circular economy is a growing sustainable alternative to the conventional ways of doing business, and this resonates with Vantage’s own ESG journey, including our support for UNHCR and the Vantage Foundation,” says Marc Despallieres, Chief Strategy & Trading Officer at Vantage.
“Circular economies could reduce their reliance on finite resources, hedge against supply chain risks, and create more job opportunities. We also hope to spur consumers to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives.”
