In today’s age of CSR culpability, businesses are increasingly looking towards the circular economy as a societal as well as business step away from what the Ellen MacArthur Foundation call the ‘take, make and dispose’ extractive model of business.

Despite this growing trend, up until now, advocates of the circular economy have been working somewhat in the dark with little legislative guidance on closing the loop.

In answer, next month the British Standards Institution will publish BS8001, the world’s first set of standards for the circular economy which aim to help companies measure and realise value from circular principles. 

The question remains – how much measurable progress are companies making on this agenda now?

Featuring case studies from companies at the circular frontline, including Smurfit Kappa, Timberland, Toyota and Jaguar, Ethical corporation’s 20-page Circular Economy management briefing asks just that.
