Increasingly adopted as a powerful framework to address the world’s most pressing challenges, the transition towards the circular economy is well underway. However, a key ingredient is still very much in the early stages of exploring the topic - the world of finance. Luigi Riccardo is an industrial engineer. In early 2016 he joined the Innovation Center in Intesa Sanpaolo as innovation specialist and project manager. He is part of the team that developed the bank’s strategy on Circular Economy as a force for good, with the delivery of a dedicated plafond to finance circular projects and the launch of the Circular Economy Lab in Milan. Luigi is also a PhD student in the “Innovation for the Circular Economy” programme at the University of Turin, member of the local Global Shapers Community by WEF and manager in TEDxTorino conferences organisation. His aim is to shape a better world starting with local actions. In this session, hear how Intesa Sanpaolo has made the topic of circular economy central to their strategy, and how they aim to support businesses, especially SMEs, in making the transition. ------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video.

Climate change. Biodiversity. Human health. What’s the connection? Food. Changing our food system is the most impactful thing we can do to address climate change, create healthy cities and rebuild biodiversity You’ve probably been thinking about how you and your organisation can play your part Maybe you’ve created your own targets and manifestos, are supporting the Sustainable Development Goals, or Paris climate agreement. But that’s the easy part. The real challenge is knowing where you can have the biggest impact The answer lies in cities - that’s where 80% of food will be consumed by 2050. By using circular economy thinking, cities, and the businesses and people in them have the power to transform the food system But what would that look like? Food would be grown in ways that support ecosystems instead of damaging them. And it would be sourced locally, when it makes sense. We would make the most of food, avoiding edible food waste and using organic by-products to improve soil fertility to grow new ingredients, along with other uses At the outset, chefs and food brands would consider these principles when they’re planning what goes on our plate It sounds simple - but it’s one of the most ambitious and profound challenges of our time If we get it right, we’ll help avoid a climate crisis, restore biodiversity, improve human health and reconnect people with their food - all the while creating new business opportunities. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Food initiative brings together pioneering restaurants, supermarkets, food brands, and governments to ignite a transition towards a regenerative food system Reach your ambition. Play your part.
