GRACIAS POR UNIRSE A LA MARCHA #ROADMAP

El «Camino Digital a Mannheim» consta de 8 eventos en línea totalmente digitalizados. Cada evento se centra un tema específico y tiene como objetivo conectar a diferentes actores de la economía social en Europa en un formato altamente interactivo, presentar las mejores prácticas y casos de uso, así como proporcionar información de primera mano en sesiones interactivas de los generadores de cambio de toda Europa. El «Camino digital a Mannheim» fortalece la economía social en Europa y aprovecha su contribución al desarrollo económico, la inclusión social, así como a las transiciones verdes y digitales.

SOBRE EL PROGRAMA

Sólo hay un planeta Tierra, pero para 2050, el mundo consumirá como si hubiera tres. Se espera que el consumo mundial de materiales como biomasa, combustibles fósiles, metales y minerales se duplique en los próximos cuarenta años.

Como la mitad de las emisiones totales de gases de efecto invernadero y más del 90% de la pérdida de biodiversidad y el estrés hídrico provienen de la extracción y el procesamiento de recursos, el Acuerdo Verde Europeo puso en marcha una estrategia concertada para una economía climáticamente neutral, eficiente en los recursos y competitiva.

La ampliación de la economía circular desde los primeros puestos hasta los principales actores económicos contribuirá decisivamente a lograr la neutralidad climática para 2050 y a desvincular el crecimiento económico del uso de los recursos, garantizando al mismo tiempo la competitividad a largo plazo de la UE y sin dejar a nadie atrás. Para las empresas, trabajar juntos en la creación del marco para los productos sostenibles proporcionará nuevas oportunidades en la UE y más allá.

Con nuestro #RoadtoMannheim evento sobre «Consumo sostenible y economía circular», junto con la Cátedra de Negocios Sostenibles de la Universidad de Mannheim, organizaremos sesiones con la Comisión Europea, las Empresas, la Sociedad Civil y las Empresas Sostenibles para debatir y mostrar modelos de cómo el consumo y la producción sostenibles pueden maximizar el potencial de las empresas para transformar los desafíos ambientales en oportunidades económicas y mejorar el bienestar de las personas haciendo que Europa sea neutral en el clima y protegiendo nuestro hábitat natural.

Description
This interactive workshop presents a unique opportunity to get first-hand insights into a concrete example of how social enterprises active in the circular economy operate on the ground. Gorka Mediavilla – coordinator of Traperos de Emaús Navarra – will present a range of activities that his innovative organisation undertakes in the circular economy and its positive impact on social and environmental goals. We will explore the success factors and barriers that enable or hinder the development of social enterprises’ potential through discussion with the audience. We hope that this concrete case study can illustrate and inspire stakeholders, policymakers and members of the social economy community on how to encourage closer partnerships and better policies to move such models forward.

Description
This workshop will highlight the need of all industries to refocus from minimising negative impact to maximising positive impact on people and the planet. It will dive into the concept of “Impactisation”, an innovative methodological production method where milestones are created for new impact within policies, measures, products, modification of existing ones or changed business models. Concrete examples are presented from companies in different industries which have flourished because of the “impactisation” of their business model.

Description
60% of global waste, 40% of resources, and 23% of GHG emissions are linked to the construction sector. The main reason is the “make – use – waste” model of construction materials. The EU published this year the New Circular Economy Action Plan and announced the transition to the circular economy as one of the highest priorities for the next 30 years. In this session, we will give an overview of the status of circular economy in the construction sector in the EU, the challenges which lay ahead and discuss the importance of the social economy to reach the goal of circular construction. For this, we look at different projects which were already successfully implemented and what the “best practices” are from it. One best practice to highlight is the digitalization of the deconstruction process and the reuse of it as well as innovation in new circular construction materials.

Description
The session’s remit will include: tackling food waste/loss, optimising packaging, product labelling, sustainable resource management, empowering consumers through awareness and education about sustainable consumption and healthy lifestyles, and the post-consumption efforts to see «waste» as energy use. Consumer co-ops are drivers of circular economy. They are member-owned retailers, who base their economic efforts on maximising benefits, not profit, by satisfying the interests and needs of their individual members and the local communities they live in. Empowering consumers is pursued through radical transparency of all aspects of the business – the operations, the origin of the goods and their environmental footprint, quality, even consumption/storage advise. That is underpinned by campaigns engaging consumers on all aspects of food and sustainability. The Co-op own brand operationalises the co-op principles and values to offer healthy, safe, quality products at affordable prices.

Speakers
Elie Assémat, Co-Founder – Commown
Robin Angelé, Project Manager – Commown

Description
This talk will first briefly remind why the current industry of electronics is neither fair nor sustainable. Then, we will observe how the negative externalities stem from the business model that prevails today : producing devices to sell as much as possible. For a significant change, there are two directions : one is working on national and international regulations, the other one is to develop another business model, that leads to more sustainable and lasting electronics. This business model already exists, it is the core of the cooperative Commown, that considers devices as a new kind of commons. The last part of the talk will focus on the Commown example, showing why it works and how.

Description
This panel discussion will bring a civil society perspective to the debate on the contribution of the Social Economy Enterprises (SEE) to the transition towards circular economy in Europe. It will address three main questions: 1) how do SEEs contribute to the circular economy in terms of innovation and values? 2) how can we improve cooperation between SEEs and industry in a circular economy model? 3) what could the most relevant public policies be at EU, national and local levels to reinforce the role of SEEs in the circular economy? The panelists will outline the important contribution of SEEs to the circular economy and the shared objectives of social and environmental impact. They will also put forward a number of ideas for discussion/ignite the debate on how to better include SEEs in the EU’s circular economy strategy.
