Norway’s Circularity Metric is only 2.4%; meaning, of the nation’s 235 million tonnes of consumed materials, over 97% of resources are not cycled back into the national economy. There is a need to bring together frontrunning businesses to collectively boost circular capacity and capability to better serve societal needs and wants more sustainably.

To support companies in advancing their circular ambitions, the UN Global Compact Norway has developed the Action Platform: Circular and climate-neutral business models. The platform aims to inspire new and leading approaches to circular business models. Rooted in the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the action platform convenes representatives from business to solve complex sustainability challenges and to innovate around the Global Goals.

The Action Platform brings together UN Global Compact Norway member companies, experts and stakeholders to provide a collaborative space to define circular leadership; explore circular business models and ongoing policy development; engage with stakeholders to exchange experience and knowledge; and participate in meetings and conferences.
