India Circular Economy Forum 2025

India's rapid industrial growth has brought with it both economic advantages and environmental challenges. As the global focus on climate change intensifies, businesses are encountering increased pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, manage resource scarcity, and comply with stringent environmental regulations. Non-compliance with these standards poses significant risks to business continuity, financial performance, and global competitiveness.

The forum’s theme, "Mitigating Risks and Exploring Opportunities for Businesses," addresses these critical concerns, ensuring businesses understand the transition from a linear to a circular economy. This is a timely dialogue as India is at a pivotal stage in its economic journey, aligning its goals with global sustainability mandates and policies like the European Green Deal, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Business leaders, policymakers, industry experts, researchers, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, civil society organizations, government representatives, and international stakeholders.
