Circular Economy:

~ At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development launched the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) framework and the accompanying free online tool. The CTI framework is completed by an online tool, a software specifically developed in partnership with Circular IQ, for companies to do their own circular assessment.

~ WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development releases the Circular Transition Indicators and Toolkit, another resource to help companies and others measure how circular they are:
