About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Episode 5: How can art shape the economy for the better?
June 16, 2020

This episode explores how art and design, beyond merely reflecting the world, actively steer values and stimulate thought. We examine the crucial role writers, painters, and other creators play in advancing the transition to a circular economy.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates this transition through business, learning, insights, and communication.
