Join the world’s most influential circular economy network
Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a circular economy that benefits people, business and the natural world. We do this by developing thought leadership and providing unique networking opportunities to enable large scale impact globally. We define the circular economy as a system that eliminates waste and pollution, circulates products and materials, and regenerates nature, all by design. Built on these principles, the circular economy is a resilient system that positively impacts people and the planet by helping to solve some of the biggest global challenges of our time, such as the climate crisis and biodiversity loss.
