The course explores the evolution from minimizing harm to actively restoring ecosystems, communities, and economic systems through innovative operational and strategic approaches. Participants examine key concepts such as regenerative supply chains, industrial symbiosis, and circular business models, where waste is transformed into valuable resources and operations contribute positively to local environments and economies.
