Nordic Circular Transition Groups

Working groups for a faster circular transition in the Nordics

What are the Transition Groups?

Nordic Circular Transition Groups are working groups on specific topics with a systemic approach to moving from linear value creation into circular and sustainable models. By putting the action directly into the hands of the relevant industries and experts, we aim to accelerate the transition and increase our impact.


Joining a Transition Group requires joining the NCH Partnership Programme.

Transition Groups:

  • Circularity demands new competencies in top management. This group will develop a shared understanding of the perspectives, knowledge and competencies needed from CEOs and management boards to integrate and implement the circular economy as a core strategy in business development.
    Contact: Kim Hjerrild, kim@ldcluster.com

  • This group will gather insight into all the regulatory conditions that are now affecting or being affected by circular principles in the Nordic local to global context.
    Contact: Villeman Vinje, villeman@naturalstate.no

  • The new built environment in the Nordics — the construction and real estate industries have a key role in the circular transition. The aim of this group is to take the transitional lead for the Nordics, unify the city development and construction industries, and gather relevant insights and understanding to set a roadmap for an accelerated circular transition of these industries in the Nordics.
    Contact: Anett Andreassen, anett@naturalstate.no

  • This group will generate and share insights and knowledge about the challenges, opportunities and alternative solutions related to reversed logistics. Through testing and close work with selected partners, this group aims to foster new circular business models and solutions with the aim of contributing to developing a market for circular businesses and motivating businesses to enter the circular space by demonstrating that it is possible and profitable.
