Organising for circularity

5th October,2022 Download

Companies are increasingly looking to adopt circular business models. They understand the strategic and commercial case for a more sustainable economy. But can they make the circular economy work for them?

For all the conversations around circularity, on the ‘what’ and ‘why’, there is not enough evidence-based guidance on how. How can companies achieve the strategic objectives of the circular economy and deliver its promised value? And how will their structures, processes – and people – need to change?

This whitepaper shares insights, guidance, and best practices on how to organise for circularity. It draws on conversations with strategy, sustainability, circularity, and organisational change professionals, from different industries and various stages of their journey to circularity.

Its 8-test framework and insights are designed to help you identify your organisation’s strengths and target efforts on areas for development, but also as a starting point to taking your own organisation and your peers on a similar journey.
