The CSO leads efforts to reach a Circular Economy

The CSO is the chief architect of a product-service system design that creates a circular business mode. Through innovating and implementing designs such as product-as-a-service and sharing economy models, service delivery optimization, end-of-life service management or helping customer understand sustainable usage, the CSO drives the circular economy initiatives. The CSO also focuses on dematerialization strategies and service lifecycle management to create a more sustainable customer experience. Identifying ways to create value in developing for sustainability and considering solutions for repair and maintenance, take-back, reverse logistics, and extended producer responsibility initiatives are all part of the CSO circular economy role.
