For this special CCB on the Road edition, the Circular Coffee Break team packed the microphones and joined Impact Day 2025 in Tallinn — Northern Europe’s largest sustainability and impact event.
Across two days of lively discussions, we sat down with innovators, policy leaders, and changemakers who are redefining how circularity, finance, and leadership come together to build a more sustainable world.
Each conversation explores a simple but powerful question:
👉 How do we turn impact into action?
From the trading floors of Nasdaq to regenerative farms, from MIT labs to hotel kitchens, our guests share stories of ambition, experimentation, and purpose, all showing that circularity isn’t a department or a buzzword, but a mindset that connects everything we do.
In this Impact Day 2025 special, you’ll hear from:
- Monika Tamošiūnaitė – Nasdaq → On how financial disclosure and transparency can spark real-world change.
- Andrus Treier – Environmental Investment Centre (KIK) → On why small, local projects can add up to massive systemic impact.
- Christopher Flensborg – SEB → On reimagining water as an economic asset and key sustainability lens.
- Dr. Gregory Norris – MIT / SHINE Initiative → On “handprints” — the positive impacts that multiply when we act.
- Frank Muro – Environmental Impacts Academy → On building the mindset and skills to move from intention to implementation.
- Kaisa Sibelius – Forum Virium Helsinki → On designing circular tools that keep creating value even after projects end.
- Madis Laid – Duco Hotels → On redefining “luxury” and tackling waste in the hospitality industry.
- Miglė Makuškaitė-Survilė – Planet Positive → On engaging employees to make sustainability part of everyday culture.
- Salla Sulasuo – Paulig Group → On embedding sustainability into corporate DNA — from sourcing to innovation.
Together, these conversations paint a vivid picture of where circularity is heading — beyond frameworks and KPIs, into real transformation across sectors and generations.
☕ Whether you work in business, policy, education, or activism, this episode offers an inspiring glimpse into how people across Europe and beyond are putting impact at the center of their decisions.
