Employer Briefing: Engaging Circular Economy principles for environmental and social value in libraries and workplaces

In this Employer Briefing, Ann Beavis, Head of Sustainable Development at Crown Workspace, will share her knowledge and experience on circular economy business models and how they can help libraries reduce their environmental impact. She will outline how the circular economy directly feeds into the climate change challenge and share examples of practical changes that can help deliver positive outcomes. Ann will also seek to challenge libraries, who are in their very nature circular service providers, to reflect on their powers to help drive the sustainability agendas in their communities.
