Today in our launch episode we’re exploring the circular economy with Guy Bigwood, Managing Director, Global Destination Sustainability Index. You'll find out what it means to be 'circular' and how meeting and event planners can minimise their impact on the environment by rethinking the traditional 'make, use, dispose' model.
