Circulytics: Ellen Macarthur Foundation’s method to measure the Circular Economy
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has developed a tool that aims to effectively measure how circular a company is, regardless of its sector or activity. They describe it as "a free company-level tool to measure the extent to which a given company has achieved circularity across all of its operations" (1). Circulytics is going to measure the circular economy performance (2) of a company. They separate it into several categories:
1) Strategies and Planning.
2) External Commitment.
3) Innovation.
4) People & Skills.
5) Operations.
Where each one has a basic percentage that could change depending on your sector. The Methodology they use tries to elucidate if the company solves or to what extent it solves the following problems:
1) Biodiversity loss.
2) Climate change.
3) Pollution.
4) Fragility of the Supply Chain.
On the other hand, we find some indicators such as GRP. CDP and WBCSD. The scores are alphabetical from A (best score) to E (worst score). The process is simple: The interested company registers on its page (3) to then make the application. Immediately you enter a period of 2-3 months to collect all the information. You then have 24-32 hours to upload the documents. After that you wait for your result.
