About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Short version: How Circular is Your Company?
March 06, 2020

As businesses increasingly adopt circular economy strategies, understanding and measuring their success is crucial. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation introduces Circulytics, a new company-level analytics tool. Developed in collaboration with 13 Global Partners and tested by over 30 companies, Circulytics reveals the extent of a company's circularity across its entire operations.

Learning Designer Ilma Stankeviciute explores this innovative tool and speaks with an early adopter, Tom Giddings from DS Smith. Jarkko Havas, Lead of Data and Metrics, spearheads the Foundation's efforts to accelerate the circular economy transition.
