Assessment model
The Circular Globe Label connects people and organisations and is a compass for the global circular economy.
It shows, how companies and consumers make sustainable, circular decisions today - for tomorrow.
For the benefit of future generations, the environment and the economy.
Model
The Circular Globe Model is based on a maturity approach. This guarantees a systemic approach within all activities towards a circular economy.
The modular and multi level construction of the model facilitate an easy start to the transformation. This makes it feasible even for smaller organisations. With the right mindest, anyone can undertake this journey.
Four dimensions, split into eleven chapters with a total of 239 criteria make up the Circular Globe Model.
#1 - Preparedness
This dimension looks at the readiness of an organisation to undertake the transformation toward a circular economy. Central to this is the "CE-Analysis" that serves the scoping of the system to be assessed and definition of current status. This positioning defines the baseline for the transformation and thus enables the measurement of all future activities and decisions.
#2 - Direction
The direction of the organisation is assessed within this dimension. Within this, leadership is defined by the obligation of management to the creation of a favourable environment, supporting the achievement of planned goals and results. The recognition of opportunities and risks along the entire value chain is also vital. Therein, the focus lies on business models and the engagement with all stakeholders as well as the creation and nursing of value networks.
#3 - Execution
Within this dimension the focus lies on the operationalisation of all previously considered aspects. Planning, implementation, but also parts of monitoring & measurement reflect the systematic pursuit of strategic goals within the circular economy.
#4 - Results
Results are the outcomes of all combined circular activities and decisions.Topics from the chapter "Improvement & Communication" as well as "Monitoring & Measurement" are observed within this dimension. This is where the loop of continuous improvement closes and the basis for further improvement and development toward circular management is created.
Assessment procedure
The model and assessment procedure ist suited to organisations of every size and industry. It works both as a framework and a rating model for circular activities. Circular Globe is based on current academic knowledge and proven practical experience, following internationally acknowledged standards and works of reference. The climate goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals are considered within the model. Circular Globe integrates current and anticipated regulatory requirements, such as EU Action Plans.
