| Popis: | There is an increasing pressure from the public, governments and the industry itself to move towards to a more sustainable world. In 2015 the European Commission launched its action plan for the circular economy (CE), followed by several further legislation and regulation worldwide, sustainability commitments of FMCG and manufacturing companies, retailers, and foundations. The transition from current linear economy to circular economy requires new actions and policies, and impose extra challenges on all participants on the market. Sustainability, especially in relation with plastics, needs to be examined in its entirety. Beyond legislation, this study is investigating how the big players on the market have been influenced by CE, which sustainable goals they target to reach and by when, and whether these targets are aligned with CE. The study also analyses strategy approach and the effect on the organisations’ sourcing activities. |
