For us, circularity means both sustainability and social inclusion. On this occasion,
Enel X’s Head of Sustainability, Nicola Tagliaferro, also shared his vision of the future. He said that people tend to think that sustainability is a question of the environment, but there is another important aspect and that is
social inclusion. If we are to be sustainable, we need to include absolutely everybody on the Planet. It’s not just a question of diversity and the equality of the sexes, but there are many other groups that face exclusion: senior citizens, the disabled and people living in countries where poverty is widespread. And the
circular economy is a perfect fit for both types of sustainability. It isn’t only about r
ecycling and reuse, but also sharing (cars, for example). He also argued that youngsters will play a vital role in building a circular future. He concluded: “I think that young consumers are beginning to think in circular terms, and this bodes well for the future.”
