Fashioning Positive Impact: 20 Years of Circularity for Business Longevity.
Hear from DEPLOY's Founder, Dr. Bernice Pan as she shares insights from two decades of circular, design-led thinking and how it can create lasting value for business, people and planet.
EVENT OUTLINE
For two decades, DEPLOY has tested what it means to build circularity into the foundations of a business — from product design and production to service, customer experience and long-term care.
At this 'meet the founder' event, Dr. Bernice Pan will share reflections from 20 years of turning systems change theory into business practice, and consider how circular, design-led thinking can beautifully support business and planetary resilience, relevance and longevity.
The session will bring together senior leaders from business, finance, sustainability and policy to explore what long-term value looks like in a resource-constrained world.
