The global “take-make-waste” economy is driving unsustainable resource use, contributing to 90% of biodiversity loss and water stress. With global waste projected to soar to 3.4 billion metric tons by 2050, we are consuming resources 1.75 times faster than Earth can regenerate. Waste management companies have a vital role to play in reversing this trend by promoting prevention, reduction, recycling, and circular economy practices. By transforming operations and value chains, the sector can help reduce pressure on nature and contribute to the Global Biodiversity Framework’s goal to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 through more sustainable resource and waste systems.

The agri-food system, which spans from input supply to food disposal, sustains 2.5 billion livelihoods and feeds the global population. However, it heavily depends on—and simultaneously threatens—biodiversity and ecosystems. Agriculture is the leading driver of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil degradation, impacting 86% of species at risk of extinction. Despite these challenges, the sector holds immense potential to drive nature-positive change. To ensure food security, human health, and ecological balance, a rapid transformation in how food is produced, sourced, and consumed is critical. Sector-specific actions guide businesses in supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework’s mission to reverse nature loss by 2030.

As demand rises, the cement and concrete sector must act now to align with nature-positive and net-zero goals. While some companies already operate under strict regulations and industry-led sustainability efforts like those by the Global Cement and Concrete Association, the sector still contributes to nature loss through emissions, water use, and quarrying. To support the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission, sector-specific actions have been developed to guide companies in transforming their practices and reducing environmental impacts across the value chain.

The energy system, including oil, gas, and utilities, plays a critical role in both driving and addressing nature loss. It encompasses all aspects of energy production, conversion, storage, delivery, and use. With high greenhouse gas emissions and intensive land and water use, the sector significantly impacts nature and faces risks to business continuity. However, it also holds vast potential to support nature-positive outcomes, as energy is essential across industries and households. A guideline of Energy sector actions has been developed to align energy systems with the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 mission to halt and reverse nature loss.

Forest companies, managing around 30% of the world’s forests for wood production, are key players in achieving a nature-positive and net-zero future. Their operations rely heavily on healthy ecosystems, especially for long-term wood fiber supply. However, long harvest cycles make them vulnerable to climate and nature-related risks. To address these challenges and meet rising demand sustainably, the forest sector must transition to an inclusive circular bioeconomy, using wood from responsibly managed forests. A new guidance report outlines sector actions needed to transform business practices and support the Global Biodiversity Framework’s 2030 goals.

Although the use of common indicators for circularity performance is essential to accelerating the transition to the circular economy, the value of CTI for a company goes beyond the calculation in the guidance, analysis and explanation for how circularity drives company performance. The CTI process helps companies’ scope and prepare the assessment and interpret its results, understand its risks and opportunities, prioritize actions and establish SMART targets to monitor progress.  

Version 2.0 comes a year after the launch of CTI v1.0 bringing three main additions in the existing methodology, including:

• Water Circularity: As promised in CTI v1.0, this version now includes calculations for Circular Water Inflow/Outflow and Onsite Water Circulation.

• CTI Revenue: Acknowledging growing investor interest for metrics that link circular and financial performance, the new CTI Revenue provides a consistent way to credibly respond to investor inquiries.

• Bioeconomy Guidance: CTI v2.0 includes extensive instruction and interpretation on the bioeconomy across all indicators and process steps.

If companies have already completed an assessment with CTI v1.0, the new content will not affect their performance. Ideally, CTI only became easier and more valuable with these changes. In order to support and guide companies through this process, we have partnered with Circular IQ to develop the CTI online Tool available at www.ctitool.com. Through the tool, CTI initiates value chain discussions, which are essential to accelerating the transition to the circular economy.

We invite companies of all sizes and industries worldwide to demonstrate their commitment to the circular economy by measuring their circular baseline with the launch of this updated version of CTI in February 2021.
