Yves Rocher — Insights in the circular economy
Yves Rocher — Insights in the
circular economy
The challenge
For a strategic board meeting, the head of Yves Rocher gathered in Belgium. As a breakout from the meeting sessions, and a direct inspiration feed to generate ideas on new sustainable concepts, switchrs was asked to organize a half day field trip in Antwerp to visit innovative concepts in action.
01
How can we energize the entire board and show them the opportunities that lie in the circular economy
02
03
How can we use these insights in our own company?
The Approach
01
Combining store visits with testimonials of store managers.
02
03
Feeding in knowledge about new business model patterns through informal walking conversations rather than keynotes or lectures.
Our solution
We created a walk through the beautiful historical center of Antwerp, passing 8 inspiring cases along the way. The booklet combined with 5 store-owner testimonials gave more insights on an operational level, the conversational lectures were designed to showcase the strategic relevance and business model opportunities.
- 8 inspiring cases with walking distance in the city center
- A toolbook with a short introduction to the most prevailing circular economy business models for retail
- Testimonials from shop owners, showing the impact on the business bottom line
