Circl podcast activates to take next sustainable step

This month’s theme is Circular Economy Week

This month’s Circl podcast series is dedicated to the Week of Circular Economy. Circl, headquarters of the fourth edition of the Week, takes listeners to various events and lets experts speak. The latest episode about taking sustainable steps is online today. At the table: Marjolein Verkerk (bol.com) and Geanne van Arkel (Interface). The series is produced in collaboration with our PR partner De Wolven.

The next step
At Circl this week more than 25 events will take place aimed at taking the next step in circular entrepreneurship. Podcast host Rose-Ann Lum Chou interviews entrepreneurs, scientists and creatives who are contributing in their own way to a sustainable world and putting circularity into practice. What are the drivers behind these sustainable ambitions? How do you create a movement – internally and within the rest of the chain? Where are the opportunities? What are obstacles and possibilities for ultimately accelerating the circular transition together? And what can we learn from them? You’ll hear in the new Circl podcast series.

Episode 4 – Marjolein Verkerk (bol.com) and Geanne van Arkel (Interface) on taking sustainable steps
When you hear bol.com, you don’t immediately think of sustainability. Yet this web store is working in many ways to contribute to a more sustainable future. The goal is to enable consumers to store in a completely climate-neutral way at bol.com by 2025. Marjolein Verkerk, responsible for sustainability and communication at bol.com, explains. Also at the table ‘CSR manager of the year’: Geanne van Arkel, Head of Sustainable Development at Interface. “We always have 100 percent or 0 percent targets. Nice and easy,” says Geanne.

Episode four of the Circl podcast can be heard on iTunes and Spotify starting today. In the next episode all about the necessary changes within the fashion industry. About bringing about behavioral change in consumers and solutions for the huge surplus of clothes in the fashion industry.
