INNOVATION

The 4 pillars


Circular economy An economy based on closing the life cycle loop of

products, services, waste, materials, water and

energy.

Low-carbon economy An economy employing technological and institutional

innovation, industrial transformation and exploitation of new

sources of energy in order to minimize the consumption of

fuels such as coal or oil.

Sharing economy An economy focusing on the use, rather than sale of products and services, allowing the link between added value and the

consumption of energy and raw materials to be broken.
