Encouraging, at a national level, more companies to implement circular economic<\/strong> strategies, starting from the experience of Varese\u2019s industrial system where, according to the latest data from the Italian National Statistics Institute (ISTAT), 81.5% of companies have carried out at least one action in support of environmental sustainability or social responsibility in recent years<\/strong>. This is the objective of the project “Analysis of training needs and modelling of managerial skills for the circular economy<\/strong>” organised by Fondirigenti<\/strong>, in collaboration with Univa Servizi, the business services company of the Union of Industrialists of Varese Province (UNIVA).<\/p>\n The project, which has been organised in the middle of the pandemic, aims to support companies in their transition to a more ecological approach by developing new skills, raising awareness and training managers and top management to be involved in processes of innovation based on the logic of the circular economy.<\/p>\n In addition to the ISTAT data, more specific data has come from UNIVA’s research office, which is reported in the research. In particular, 66% of companies carried out at least one action to reduce the environmental impact of their activities<\/strong>. Of these, 1 out of 4 already uses “secondary raw materials”, that is, waste materials that they recover and reintroduce into the production process. This process of transitioning to a more ecological approach by Varese industry will accelerate during 2021.<\/p>\n The results of the analysis carried out on a number of companies in the Varese production system, with best practices, training and new skills needs, check-ups of the levels of circularity of production processes and logistics systems, and strategies for applying the circular economy in companies, will be illustrated during a conference, which is being organised as a webinar. “How do we integrate sustainability and the circular economy into business strategies?<\/strong>“, is scheduled for Tuesday, 27 April, at 10.00 a.m. (click here <\/u>to register)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Costanza Patti<\/strong>, General Manager of Fondirigenti, and Marco De Battista<\/strong>, President of Univa Servizi, will be welcoming the participants.<\/p>\n The speakers are: Fabio Iraldo<\/strong> of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa and of GREEN – Bocconi University, on the topic “Analysis of training needs and modelling of managerial skills for the circular economy”; Michele Merola<\/strong> of Ergo Srl and of GREEN – Bocconi University, on the topic: the results of the “Circular economy” project, with the application of the Check-Up Tool, among the pilot companies in Varese Province.<\/p>\n A round table discussion with some of the companies involved in the project has also been scheduled.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Translated by Elisa Cairone and Giorgia Perinelli<\/p>\n Reviewed by Prof. Rolf Cook<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cHow do we integrate sustainability and the circular economy into business strategies?\u201d This is the title of the webinar, planned for Tuesday, 27 April, organised by Fondirigenti and UNIVA Servizi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1026,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
