In the rapidly evolving landscape of the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS), sustainability is no longer just a goal but a necessity. “People, Planet, Profit” highlights the interconnectedness of social, environmental, and economic dimensions, with a focus on how ecological responsibility and financial resilience must go hand in hand. As creative industries navigate the challenges of climate change and environmental impact, they must also ensure the economic viability of their enterprises. This conference is exploring how these two crucial topics—ecological and financial sustainability—often collide, creating both challenges and opportunities.
A key focus is on how the circular economy model can bridge this gap. By prioritising resource efficiency, waste reduction, and regenerative practices, the circular economy provides a blueprint for creative hubs to thrive while reducing their environmental footprint. Through this model, the Conference outcomes demonstrate how ecological responsibility and financial sustainability can be mutually rein- forcing, offering innovative pathways to both environmental and economic success for the sector.
