Werken in een meer circulaire economie - Horizon 2035

Our economy will be more circular in the future. This is necessary to respond to the environmental, economic and social challenges we face. This change will lead to a profound reversal of our models of production and consumption, to a reform of business, of the way in which activity is organised in general. Our jobs, professions and activities will undoubtedly change too.

All these themes have been considered by a Creative group, assembled by the King Baudouin Foundation, during a series of four workshops.

This group is made up of 28 people active in Belgium who are directly or indirectly involved in the subject and reflects :

• the complexity of our subject (labour market, climate, HR, digitalisation, raw materials, etc.);
• the diversity of actors involved (social partners, large companies, SMEs, start-ups, federations, social economy, civil society, public authorities, universities, etc.);
• a good balance in terms of gender, generations, language, .....

Their work was structured according to the methodology of 'future-oriented scenarios'. This approach has amply proved its worth in the strategic reflections of organisations. The end result is a collection of four different scenarios, each with its own insights and implications, presented in a final report.
