Landscape analysis:Corporateperformance&accountability, and policy ®ulations Introduction Introduction This landscape analysis provides guidance on how metrics and indicators can improve circularityperformance aligned with a sustainable future, starting with gaps in policies, standards and frameworks TheGlobal Circularity ProtocolforBusinessis a new global initiative spearheaded by the WBCSD in collaboration with the OPN. It will seek and ensureactiveengagementof partners fromacademia,cross-sectoral businesses,NGOs, andpolicymakersto addressaccountabilityandpolicy gapscurrently impeding thescaling of circularity. By 2026, the Global Circularity Protocol for business will be thego-to action frameworkto guide companies in target-setting, measuring, reportingand disclosing progress onresource efficiencyandcircularity, combined with comprehensive and targeted policy guidance in order toacceleratethe shift towardscircular business models and a regenerative economy. Landscape analysis 4 key workstreams shaping the GCP Current workstream 1.This document is the firstmilestonefor the “Circular Transition Impact Analysis” workstream,which aims to identify thekey impactsof a circular transition for Climate, Nature, and Socialindicators and improved business and value chain performance, and toprovide designprinciplesto help inform the development of the GCP2.An initial step for this workstream is to conduct alandscape analysisof currentCircularPerformance & Accountabilitystandards and frameworks and ofCircular Policies andRegulations. The aim of the landscape analysis is to identify gaps and opportunities in thecurrent circular ecosystem that can help inform the design of the GCP3.While the circular economy can be an enabler for sustainability, social equity, value creation andrisk mitigation, this documentdoes not address why circularity is important, but it focuses onansweringhow can metricsandindicators improve circularity performancealigned withidentified gaps in policies, standards and frameworks4.Broad consultation involving theTechnical Working Groupcomplemented byspecificstakeholderswas conducted to populate this document–We would like to specifically thank youall stakeholders who agreed to spend some time to share their insights •Work package 1–Landscape Analysis (this document)•Work package 2–Impact Analysis•Work package 3–Design Principles for the GCP Introduction: Methodology A hypothesis led approach combined with primary and secondary research underpinned the landscapeanalysis Preliminary literature selectionand review, and workinghypotheses development Literature selectionupdate, review, andpreliminary data analysis Discussions withInternal/External SME &Technical Working Group Data analysis and insightsdrafting Validation Selection ofrelevant sources,documentsandliterature: Structuring, clarifying andvalidating final insights with theTWG and Advisory Committeetomapthe currentCP&AandPolicy&Regulationlandscapeforcircularity,turninggapsandbottlenecksintoopportunitiesandsystemic solutionsasconsiderations for the GCP•Workshops with TWG Data analysisdeep-dive anditerativeinsightdevelopmentand refinement based on expertinterviewsandfeedback Discussion with various expertsand with TWG and AdvisoryCommittee members tovalidatefindingsand gainfurtherinsights •CP&A: Existing CE/sustainabilitymeasurement frameworks, andcircularity literature•Policy & Regulation: non-exhaustive,but representative,illustrative sample of internationalcase studiesand comprehensivereports with diverse policies’ •TWG member sessions•Advisory Committees members•23 external expert interviews •4 workshops with internalexperts•3 workshops with TWG•2 discussions with external experts Introduction: CP&A Literature A comprehensive, although not exhaustive, set of literature wasanalysed, including reportingstandards and frameworks as well as white papers and publications, from across the world, for theCP&A landscape Sourcesfromall overtheworldwerereviewed to identifycurrent gapsaroundcircularity performanceandmeasurement,andsubsequentlysupportthe identification ofopportunitiesNon-exhaustive examples Introduction: Policy & Regulation Literature A significant representative set of policy-related literature was the baseline for the preliminary research,steering the understanding of strategic levers and deep-dive on expert feedback and case studies Sourcesfromall overtheworldwerereviewed to identifycurrent gapsaroundcircularity performanceandmeasurement,andsubsequentlysupporttheidentification ofstrategic levers.Sources oftencover multiple levers, which is to be expected given the need to combine them for best results.
