This week, members of the Porter Novelli team safely hit the road to San Diego for the return of the annual Sustainable Brands conference.

Hello – I’m Stephanie Conzelman, Stakeholder Engagement Director with Land Betterment.

The concept and acceptance of moving toward a Circular Economy have grown significantly in the last several years. While definitions vary, most focus on maximizing the value of materials, products, and other resources (i.e., water, energy) that circulate in the economy by maintaining them in the economy for as long as possible while also minimizing the consumption of materials and the generation of waste.
