The circular economy (CE) is centered on keeping resources at their highest value for as long as possible while minimizing waste. Companies with a circular business model can provide more value to their customers while using fewer resources. Research indicates that companies embracing circular practices tend to exhibit a lower risk of default on debt and achieve higher risk-adjusted returns on their stock, making them more attractive to investors. This report, developed by the ISS ESG Circular Economy Taskforce with contributions from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and ING Bank, aims to demystify the concept of the circular economy for investors and financial institutions. It provides actionable insights and highlights the financial and strategic benefits of integrating circular principles into business operations, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions and drive sustainable growth. #ESG #CircularEconomy

By taking ESG and circular economy♻ to the audience : The circular economy ♻ and ESG (Environmental🌱 , Social, and Governance🏛 ) criteria are closely related, with circular economy practices significantly contributing to the environmental aspect of ESG. The circular economy focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency by promoting reuse, recycling, and sustainable design. These practices align directly with ESG goals by reducing environmental impact and improving resource management💼 🤵 , thereby enhancing a company's environmental performance. Moreover, the circular economy supports ESG principles across social and governance dimensions as well. By fostering sustainable production processes and supporting local economies, it can improve social outcomes and promote ethical business practices. Additionally, the transparency and accountability required for effective circular economy practices align with good governance standards, ensuring that companies are accountable for their resource 🗂 🛠 📚 use and environmental impact🎯 . Thus, integrating circular economy principles helps companies🏭 meet their ESG objectives more comprehensively. In summary, the circular economy supports ESG objectives, mainly through responsible and innovative environmental practices💥 🚀 . The two concepts reinforce each other and contribute to a more holistic 🧘♀️ 🌿 and sustainable approach to business 💹. #ESG #Circulareconomy

Proven Impact: Your competitive edge in the Circular Economy transition♻️ In today’s sustainability landscape, proven impact is crucial. Companies that transition from a linear to a circular economy in plastics can significantly reduce their environmental footprint and gain a competitive advantage in a marketplace where transparency and accountability are increasingly in demand. Why is proven impact Important? One of the greatest challenges companies face is tackling Scope 3 emissions—the indirect emissions that occur across the supply chain. These emissions are not only difficult to measure but are also under increasing scrutiny from investors, regulators, and consumers alike. Addressing them has become a necessity rather than an option. The European Green Deal adds even more urgency, as it aims to make the EU the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. To stay competitive, businesses must not only reduce their carbon footprint but also meet the evolving market demand for sustainable products. Challenges companies face in remaining compliant: ↳ Lack of transparency in supply chains ↳ Risk of greenwashing and misleading sustainability claims ↳ Navigating undefined, evolving, and complex regulations Best practices for addressing these challenges: ✅ Businesses need to ensure end-to-end visibility across their supply chains, from raw material sourcing to product end-of-life. ✅ Comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data is critical for meeting compliance and securing investor confidence. ✅ Companies must back up sustainability claims with verified data to build trust with stakeholders. ✅ Effectively communicating proven impact can enhance brand perception, positively influencing consumers and investors. ✅ Staying ahead of evolving regulations by adopting proactive environmental responsibility measures can improve financial performance, increase equity valuation, and attract better financing opportunities. By implementing these best practices, businesses not only meet regulatory requirements but also create positive environmental impacts, strengthen their market position, and attract top talent in the sustainability space. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Sustainablebusiness #Transparency #ESG #EnvironmentalResponsibility
