Description
In this webminar we will discuss the social ambition of the circular economy in the sector and introduce the Social Impact Assessment Framework for Circular Economy called (SIAF-CE⚥). This framework assesses social impacts for workers and communities in a gender-disaggregated way. Using the SIAF-CE⚥ framework practitioners can identify impacts attributed to the implementation of circular strategies on the quality of jobs, and at an individual and community level. We will present as an example of the tested framework the Dutch apparel value chain.
