This is a comprehensive guide for businesses aiming to integrate circular business models into their operations with a view to effectively addressing biodiversity loss.

It describes just how circularity and nature are linked, and sets out a three-step approach based on:

1. identifying critical biodiversity impacts in the value chain
2. using circular solutions to tackle these impacts
3. designing the circular transformation journey.

The handbook guides companies through the process of identifying and prioritising their most critical biodiversity impacts. After all, in order to address these impacts, it is vital to tackle the pressure behind them.

Circular solutions are essential tools for achieving this transformation. Six circular business models are presented to guide companies through formulating which circular solutions can address their critical biodiversity impacts.

This handbook is primarily intended for employees tasked with corporate sustainability, supply chain management and innovation leadership, as well as executive-level managers seeking to advance solutions that give more value from existing resources and reduce pressure on nature.
