Excited to share the publication of a case study I co-wrote during my time as a research assistant at HEC Paris, exploring the transformative potential of sustainable business models! 🔄 One of the biggest challenges we face today is showing that sustainability isn't just a moral imperative, but also a smart business move. Our case study focuses on Desso's pioneering journey into circular economy since 2012, showcasing how sustainability can drive long-term competitive advantage. 🔍 Key insights include: 1️⃣ Redesigning products for recyclability and integrating new processes. 2️⃣ Transitioning from product sales to pay-per-use models and implementing end-of-life recycling. 3️⃣ Collaboration with competitors and suppliers for reverse logistics and technology sharing. Grateful to Professors Laurence Lehmann-Ortega and Hélène Musikas for the opportunity to collaborate on this impactful project! https://lnkd.in/ehMspxz7
