Financial sector presents roadmap to circular economy

The Dutch government has set itself the goal of having a fully circular economy by 2050. The financial sector plays a crucial role in this.

As a result, the risk and return profiles of circular business models are not yet properly understood and assessed, and investors generally give priority to linear investments.
