With millions dying prematurely every year due to air pollution, species becoming critically endangered as a result of hunting and deforestation, and water shortages emerging across whole regions of the world, the question of how companies can integrate sustainability into business strategy and investment decisions is more urgent than ever.

In our new rethinking business series, we will be exploring how organisations can embrace sustainable business models and what support they need to make their goals a reality.

To do this we will focus on two key areas: renewables and the circular economy. How are companies adopting renewables and circular models, what challenges do they face, how are they collaborating and is this part of a long-term transition or just short-term idealism?

Want to suggest ideas for topics you think we should investigate? Fill in the form below or email tess.riley@theguardian.com with “rethinking business series” in the subject line.
