  • Resilient circular business models

    Dear Patrick,

    So pleased that I listened to this podcast, I liked this specialization in circular business model, personally I’d like this podcast will address resilience in business models, how we can improve resilience in this case and approximately which circular business models can be defined as successful cases or with which parameters. Keep it up and looking forward to next episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Business Interruption Insurance: When Circularity Pays Off
Q: Are there other insurance products related to circular practices beyond BI?
Yes, circular practices affect liability (including climate liability) and can influence coverage in areas like product toxicity, repairs, and end-of-life design. The guest notes that repairing and modular design reduce toxicity and environmental impact, which can lower climate liability and associated premiums, though differentiation from linear ESG measures remains challenging.
Business Interruption Insurance: When Circularity Pays Off
Q: What parts of BI (business interruption) pricing can circular practices influence?
Three main BI drivers are sum insured (profit and turnover), fixed costs, and extra expenses. Circular practices influence risk management and supplier diversification, which can shorten indemnity periods and introduce efficiency, potentially affecting the discounts available and the ease of recovery after disruptions.
Business Interruption Insurance: When Circularity Pays Off
Q: Do circular practices actually lead to lower insurance premiums if I go circular?
The guest explains that, currently, premiums are not automatically lower for circular businesses; pricing is driven by sum insured, fixed costs, and extra expenses, plus the indemnity period. However, risk management and modular design can enable discounts and better terms, and there is potential for future adjustments as data improves and insurers gain better visibility over portfolio risks.
Insurance Claims: How Tryg Made Repair the Default Choice
Q: So can you tell us a bit more how does it start? How does this normal claims process look like?
Tryg aims to be the first contact after an incident, guiding customers to the right supplier with the skills and capacity needed, and then engaging the supplier to execute the repair-first solution when appropriate.
Climate Resilience: How Allianz Evaluates Supply Chains
Q: Can you elaborate a bit more on the assets you focus there?
Clients can upload any type of asset, including production sites, offices, and especially supplier locations; the tool helps assess exposure and supports due diligence for new investments, focusing on both locations and supplier networks.
