The Global Circularity Protocol for Business is a new global initiative spearheaded by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) in collaboration with the One Planet Network (OPN). It will engage partners from academia, cross-sectoral businesses, NGOs and policymakers to address accountability and policy gaps currently impeding the scaling of circularity.

This landscape analysis provides guidance on how metrics and indicators can improve circularity performance aligned with a sustainable future, starting with gaps in policies, standards and frameworks. It is the first milestone in the Circular Transition Impact Analysis workstream, aiming to identify the key impacts of a circular transition for climate, nature and social indicators and improved value chain performance.
