The European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform, a joint initiative of the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee, brings together stakeholders in Europe’s circular economy field.

The Platform recently hosted a webinar presenting an investor’s perspective on preparing circular construction and infrastructure projects, which is now available to rewatch online and may be of interest to members of the Level(s) community. 

In particular, the webinar may provide insights for those involved in investment, including investors, financial professionals, sustainability and CSR officers, policy makers, urban planners, city officials, and academics in the field of circular construction and infrastructure.

It featured various discussions of relevance to Level(s)’ focus on assessing and reporting on the sustainability performance of buildings, including presentations on building lifecycle costing, calculating the positive impact of circularity within construction projects, and exposing misinformation around the cost of reusing building materials.

In addition, the webinar provided information on financial opportunities for investors, such as how the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Responsibility Directive (CSRD) reporting presents a new challenge for investors to align their investments with the new sustainability standards.
