Circular Globe

Circular Globe is a label and assessment program that helps organizations measure and develop their readiness for the circular economy. Recognized by the Swiss Confederation, it uses a defined assessment model to evaluate circular maturity and provide organizations with a comparable score. The process guides participants from understanding circular economy principles and reviewing practical criteria to completing an expert assessment and, if eligible, sharing their achievements through the Circular Globe label.

Organizations can use the criteria catalogue, which contains 239 assessment criteria and offers actionable guidance intended to save resources, reduce costs, support sustainability credibility, and chart a path toward circularity. Circular Globe also offers compact assessments, full label assessments, training, webinars, and related learning resources. Assessment scores range from 0 to 1,000; a score of at least 400 qualifies an organization for a label. The Organization and Ecosystem labels each have three maturity levels: Fundamental, Advanced, and Excellence. The website provides information, catalogue ordering, and contact options through the Swiss Association for Quality and Management Systems (SQS) and Quality Austria.
