ICEX GROUP is a part of the UN Global Compact
Last month was MSME Day with the UN linking the importance of business to the circular economy and achieving the UN sustainability development goals.
The UN say, “As we steer our ship into a new development course in a changing world, the importance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and the circular economy is crystal clear. MSMEs, which account for 90% of businesses, more than 70% of employment, and 50% of GDP worldwide, remain the core of the economy for most societies.
“A human-centered approach is central to the evolving 'circular economy,' emphasizing the importance of individuals and communities in driving sustainable transformation. Considering people's well-being and prioritizing inclusive participation ensures that new systems align and contextualize local culture and personal/institutional needs.”
The Circular Economy is exactly what we are working towards! More and more needs to be done in all industries, at all levels, from material extraction to consumer habits to achieve a world that is both developing and sustainable.
