Circularity Program Setup

Circularity Program Setup

Difficulties in sourcing strategic materials, supply chain disruptions, increasing CO2 emissions, and new regulatory requirements are accelerating the adoption of the circular economy. However, the circularity ecosystem (e.g., regulations, standards, collaborative initiatives) can be overwhelming and a real challenge for industrial players. Siemens Advanta supports businesses in creating a common circularity view, identifying key impact categories, building integrated ecosystems along value chains, and navigating the road to circularity. 

  • Define a strategy to anchor circularity in companies' daily business, e.g., by designing more reusable/recyclable products 
  • Increase supply chain resilience, e.g., by securing access to strategic materials 
  • Gain transparency on upcoming regulations and prepare for them, e.g., the Circular Economy Action Plan of the EU 
  • Leverage ecosystems along the value chain and enable data sharing to truly close the material loop, e.g., via digital product passports
  • Develop new business models by closing the loop, e.g., with as-a-service business models

#NextWork

At Siemens Advanta, we address your future workforce challenges with our systematic workforce transformation approach, #NextWork®. 

Digital transformation and structural change yield immense challenges for an organization's workforce. New competencies and skills need to be developed to adapt to digital processes and tools, revolutionizing traditional job roles. This creates a huge need for upskilling and reskilling measures in order to close the gap between the workforce of today and the workforce of the future. However, executives often lack transparency on future requirements and therefore cannot derive concrete implications for their organizations. 

  • Define the impact that digitalization and automation will have on the client's workforce 
  • Identify the jobs and skills needed for the client's business in the future 
  • Establish concrete development paths to transform the client's workforce systematically 
What we can do for you
  • Upskilling and reskilling measures 
  • Transparency on future requirements
