VIELEN DANK FÜR DIE TEILNAHME AN DER MÄRZ #ROADMAP

Die „Digitale Road to Mannheim“ besteht aus 8 voll digitalisierten Online-Veranstaltungen. Jede Roadmap-Veranstaltung konzentriert sich auf ein bestimmtes Thema und zielt darauf ab, verschiedene Akteure der Sozialwirtschaft in Europa in einem hochinteraktiven Format zu vernetzen,Best Practices und Anwendungsfälle zu präsentieren und in interaktiven Sessions von Changemakers aus ganz Europa Einblicke aus erster Hand zu gewähren. Die „Digital Road to Mannheim“ stärkt die gesamte Sozialwirtschaft in Europa und leistet ihren Beitrag zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, zur sozialen Eingliederung sowie zu ökologischen und nachhaltigen Transformation.

ÜBER DAS PROGRAMM

Es gibt nur einen Planeten Erde – aber bis 2050 wird die Welt in Anspruch genommen, als ob es drei wären. Der weltweite Verbrauch von Materialien wie Biomasse, fossilen Brennstoffen, Metallen und Mineralien dürfte sich in den nächsten vierzig Jahren verdoppeln.

Da die Hälfte der gesamten Treibhausgasemissionen und mehr als 90 % des Verlusts an biologischer Vielfalt und Wasserstress auf die Gewinnung und Verarbeitung von Ressourcen zurückzuführen sind, hat der Europäische Green Deal eine konzertierte Strategie für eine klimaneutrale, ressourceneffiziente und wettbewerbsfähige Wirtschaft auf den Weg gebracht.

Die Ausweitung der Kreislaufwirtschaft vom Spitzenreiter zum Mainstream-Wirtschaftsakteure wird einen entscheidenden Beitrag zur Erreichung der Klimaneutralität bis 2050 und zur Entkopplung des Wirtschaftswachstums von der Ressourcennutzung leisten, während gleichzeitig die langfristige Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der EU gewährleistet und niemand zurückgelassen wird. Für die Wirtschaft wird die Zusammenarbeit bei der Schaffung des Rahmens für nachhaltige Produkte neue Möglichkeiten in der EU und darüber hinaus eröffnen.

Mit unserer #RoadtoMannheim-Veranstaltung zum Thema „Nachhaltiger Konsum & Kreislaufwirtschaft“ veranstalten wir gemeinsam mit dem Lehrstuhl für Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften an der Universität Mannheim Stakeholder-Sitzungen mit der Europäischen Kommission, Unternehmen, Zivilgesellschaft und nachhaltigen Unternehmen, um Modelle zu diskutieren und aufzuzeigen, wie nachhaltiger Konsum und nachhaltige Produktion Unternehmen maximieren können, um Umweltherausforderungen in wirtschaftliche Chancen umzuwandeln und das Wohlbefinden der Menschen zu verbessern, indem wir Europa klimaneutral machen und unseren natürlichen Lebensraum schützen.

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.

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.
