Measuring our impact
Anchored on our Impact Metrics Framework, we measure our progress to provide a full and accurate representation of our impact
Advancing circularity hinges on the collaboration of governments, businesses, civil society, financial institutions, academia, and communities, both globally and locally. We convene stakeholders in the plastic circularity ecosystem through trusted engagement and dialogue. This allows us to scale the benefits of our work across value chains, partners and local communities.

Evolving the way we measure our impact
For the purposes of reporting our 2023 impact, we voluntarily sought external Limited Assurance for those metrics prioritised as ‘assurance-ready’ as well as an assessment of reasonableness in approach for those that we will continue to develop. Against the backdrop of the varied projects and solutions that we are testing and implementing, and challenging environments and systems, we are committed to the path of continuous improvement so we can present a full set of independently assured results in future reporting years.
