Multi-asset broker Vantage today launched the second episode of its video series, The Vantage Viewwith a focus on the circular economy.
Vantage View continues to break new ground, highlighting the latest key trends and thought-provoking topics that are transforming the financial landscape, powered by research and support from Bloomberg Media Studios.
The new episode features Dr Seeram Ramakrishna, Professor and Director of the Center for Nanotechnology and Sustainability, National University of Singapore. Dr. Ramakrishna explores the difference between the linear economy on which the modern economy is based and the circular economy that provides greater benefit to society.
Dr. Ramakrishna explores why companies in financial sectors adopt circular practices to diversify and mitigate risk, while presenting ways retail investors can invest in the circular economy and impact their dollar.
“The circular economy is a growing sustainable alternative to conventional ways of doing business, and this resonates with Vantage’s own ESG journey, including our support for UNHCR and the Vantage Foundation,” he says Marc Despallieres, Chief Strategy & Trading Officer of Vantage.
“Circular economies could reduce their dependence on finite resources, offset supply chain risks and create more job opportunities. We also hope to motivate consumers to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives.”
