About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Shaping the future with the performance economy | The origins of the circular economy
August 12, 2024

The circular economy focuses on retaining the value of goods and materials to slow resource depletion. Selling performance instead of products is a key strategy. In this season's finale, we explore these insights with Walter Stahel, author of "The Performance Economy."

We'll discuss how retaining value can transform industries, boost job creation, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We'll also examine sustainable taxation and why performance-based sales could be the future.
