ISO 59020: Accurately Measure and Assess Your Circularity Performance

This international standard is crucial for transitioning to a circular economy. It provides a clear and structured methodology for measuring and assessing circularity performance and selecting system boundaries and appropriate indicators. It also supports interpreting data to evaluate circularity at numerous levels, from regional and inter-organizational to organizational and product-specific.

Businesses can effectively quantify progress and demonstrate commitment to sustainable practices, enhancing transparency, accountability and stakeholder trust.

Who is ISO 59020 for?

The standard is for any organization committed to transitioning toward a circular economy that needs to measure and assess its circularity performance effectively.

Can ISO 59020 verification be applied alongside other sustainability assessments?
