About the event
Social enterprises are worth 3% of UK GDP – that’s three times larger than the country’s agricultural sector. These organisations are also leading the way when it comes to repair, reuse and remanufacture.
Drawing on social enterprises – which also create around 5% of all UK employment – will be key to the circular economy transition. In this session, you’ll hear from organisations leading the way in the circular economy sector and get the chance to ask questions about social enterprises’ role in green growth.
