Forética's Circular Economy Action Group began its activity in 2017 with the aim of leading the transition of companies towards a circular economy model. In each edition, the Group has focused on the most relevant topics to foster that transition:

  • I Edition (2017-2018): the Group worked on identifying the business case and business opportunities linked to the transition towards a circular economy model.
  • II Edition (2018-2019): the keys to measuring business circularity were analyzed to measure progress in the transition from a linear model to a circular model.
  • III Edition (2019-2020): in response to one of the most pressing environmental challenges we face, Group companies worked on how to move towards a new plastics economy.
  • Edition IV (2020-2021): the Group has worked on moving towards maximum circular ambition as part of the transformation required for the decade of action.
  • V Edition (2021-2022): during the V Edition the objective has been to advance in the knowledge of innovation and financing as two of the pillars for circular transformation.

Forética and the Ministry for Ecological Transition have signed a framework collaboration agreement for the promotion of sustainable and environmentally responsible business management, which includes collaboration and dialogue on Circular Economy issues.

On the other hand, as a representative in Spain of the WBCSD, we participate in Factor 10the WBCSD's circular economy working group, which brings together the leading companies in their sectors to work collaboratively and with a sectorial focus, with the aim of identifying the challenges of the transition to the change of model and taking advantage of business opportunities.
