We talked with Sharla Halvorson, the Head of Sustainability at Ingka Centres. 

Retail is one of the most notorious polluters in the world! From its supply chain to energy consumption, there are numerous areas where it can create a more circular business model.  

And this change is not only nice but also profitable! Because 77% of companies believe sustainability brings more customer loyalty, and 63% state that it increases brand revenue, according to The Capgemini research.  

So, how do we enable a circular transformation in the retail industry? Ingka Centres and its Circuit concept take circularity principles to the core and set relatively high benchmarks for others.  

Sharla tells us about the growing circular practices within Ingka Centres and how Circuit is becoming a meeting place for people to adopt the everyday practice of the circular economy.  We hope this conversation inspires you to start your circularity journey today.
