The Creative Team
Circular Futures is built and designed by Dr. Leyla Acaroglu and Emma Segal.
As a leading expert on applied sustainability and designing for the circular economy, Leyla has spent over twenty years working with some of the biggest companies, training design and engineering teams, speaking to industry groups and developing educational content that is used in education around the world. From these many experiences, especially talking with senior sustainability professionals in large companies, she released that there was a significant skills gap in people’s comprehension and capacity to take action as the economy moves towards circularity and a gap in the market for high-quality corporate sustainability training content.
Combined with the creative communication skills of lead designer Emma Segal, they have created the beautiful, easy-to-understand and interactive learning experience that is Circular Futures.
Invest in your capacity to respond to our changing world
Circular Futures is the capacity-building educational platform equipping the global workforce with actionable sustainability skills for this changing business landscape.
Delightful & Accessible
It was delightful to finally understand some of the terms used in sustainability that I usually felt lost about. I would recommend this because it really explains the technical terms that everyone seems to know yet cannot really explain. It explains the concept of sustainability in such a way that you do not need to have even heard about it before to understand what is being taught.

The Rolls Royce of Training
Beautiful design and great narration. This is the "Rolls Royce" of training. I can highly recommend this for professionals at all stages of their journey. I feel that this course will help to make every job a climate job as the personal reflection and group discussion content provides an easy format for engaging other colleagues and partners.
