Abstract: Abstract We are now experiencing the consequences of human living and rapid population growth throughout the last 100 years. The spread of humans and our way of living have had enormous impact of the planet—both on land, oceans, and fresh waters. Humans have exceeded the planetary boundaries on six out of nine parameters and a shift to a fair and sustainable living is necessary, here illustrated with the Doughnut Model by Kate Raaworth. Industrialization and globalisation is jeopadising human living and changes are need to create a sustainable living. Companies are in the center of driving the Great Transition to a Circular and Green Economy.
