The research platforms on purpose, sustainability, and impact explore multiple dimensions of sustainability, focusing on the alignment between strategic purpose, values, and goals; sustainable business models including circular economy and biodiversity protection; the intersection of digital transformation and sustainability; and the role of impact finance. Some platforms and observatories also concentrate on specific sectors, such as agri-food.
This Observatory aims to make a tangible contribution to the sustainable transformation of the agrifood system through research, awareness-raising, and dissemination activities. It focuses on the role of innovation in sustainability, especially within the circular economy framework for agrifood, and on promoting more inclusive and sustainable supply chain models. Its work is carried out in close collaboration with agrifood companies, trade associations, non-profits, startups, and public institutions.
