Circular Economy Business Models
Design products, reverse logistics and resource loops that turn waste streams into margin.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The board approved a circular economy business models target that nobody has costed, baselined or sequenced — and the first assurance engagement is already booked. Disclosure without data is not conservative; it is a liability that grows with every round of scrutiny. This is where circular economy business models stops being brochure-ware and becomes the institution's licence to grow, borrow and trade.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Green Bond With a Leaky Framework
A food-and-beverage exporter issued the region’s first green bond to strong demand. Six months later, an NGO alleges 30% of proceeds financed activities the framework never intended — and the framework was written by the deal team, not by risk.
Your decision: Decide the response: disclosure, remediation, and who owns the next circular economy business models framework.
