„Plan A – New ways for a sustainable economy“ (Lubomila Jordanova)
Plan A believes that companies have the power to pave the way to a more sustainable future for our world. They exist to help companies build a carbon-neutral and sustainable economy. For this Plan A developed the first Emissions Reduction Software which allows businesses to calculate, monitor and reduce their carbon footprint on a monthly basis. The software provides personalised sustainability action plans and sustainable development focused offsetting scheme that responds to the companies carbon footprint analysis.
“From linear to circular – design strategies” (Reinhild Otten)
What does it mean when designers have the opportunity to contribute to an overall healthier planet by considering the environmental and human health of the products, materials and services? How can we re-design and transform linear business models into circular future design strategies?
“Breakthrough business models – Designing products and services in exponential times” (Wiebke Kudernatsch)
We are living in a period of growing turbulence, a period of exponential change, disruption and uncertainty. Tomorrow’s business models must pursue positive social, ecological and environmental outcomes to drive real progress towards a sustainable agenda. Having a sustainability focus needs to shift to new types of business model thinking that can enable novel forms of value creation of services and products. Breakthrough business models will be increasingly exponential—in at least four dimensions: Social, Lean, Integrated and Circular.
