Making impact with nature as our guide

We do not have a choice. It is time to use our collective intelligence to redesign our way of working before we reach a point of no return. At Circle Economy, we look to nature for inspiration since it is, in itself, a perfect circle.

The City of Amsterdam is engaging with the circular economy because it is the only way to have an economy in our future. The circular future of Amsterdam is a city without waste. It’s a city with a very small footprint. And it’s a city where we understand that we need fewer resources and more welfare for everyone.

Collaboration with Circle Economy has helped us to better understand the drivers and barriers for a circular economy. We are now equipped with the roadmap of actions and know how to measure progress.

At Adessium Foundation we invest in the protection of valuable ecosystems and the restoration of biodiversity, both on land and at sea. We also work on the prevention and reduction of various forms of pollution, such as plastics and harmful chemicals. The transition to a truly circular economy is one of the key strategies to deliver on these critically important objectives. That is why Adessium has supported Circle Economy in the past 9 years as the organization developed into the thought leader it is today, providing key insights and practical transition pathways for businesses, cities and nations alike. The development of the Circularity Gap Reporting initiative is a clear example where philanthropic funding has been able to catalyze broader private and public interest in and support for the circular transition and we hope that more foundations join the circular transition that is so critical to meet the world’s climate and biodiversity goals.
