The Concept of “Value” Should Be Reinterpreted

A new report published in New Zealand shows that the current financial system is full of obstacles that slow down the transition to a circular economy.

In the report jointly prepared by the Sustainable Business Network and Grant Thornton, it is stated that economies are built on the consumption of natural assets and the profit obtained in this way is considered an indicator of success. Therefore, it is stated that the current financial system encourages waste production but is inadequate in waste recycling.

Grant Thornton Sustainability and Impact Leader Michael Worth says businesses will not abandon this model unless sustainably produced products become competitive in the market. Worth states that current practices do not motivate companies regarding the circular economy and emphasizes the importance of new regulations.

The report emphasizes the importance of reinterpreting the concept of “value” in the context of a circular economy. In this context, it is stated that the concept of value should be renamed not in terms of materiality, but in terms of what we protect and what we transform.
