Mission & Goals
Circle Economy is driving the transition to a new economy. In this circular economy, we help businesses, cities, and nations leverage business opportunities, reduce costs, create jobs and inspire behavioural change. As a global impact organisation, our international team equips business leaders and policymakers with the insights, strategies, and tools to turn circular ambition into action. Circle Economy has been at the forefront of the circular economy since 2011. Our annual Circularity Gap Report (CGR®) sets the standard for measuring progress and we manage the world’s largest circularity database, encompassing data from over 90 nations, 350 cities, and 1,000 businesses.
