By acting now, companies can build resilience, unlock long-term value, and lead the shift to a nature-positive economy.

I’m excited to share my op-ed published in @reuters.com this week, where I wrote about something I’ve seen repeatedly: when companies stay true to their values, they outperform those who don't. The catch is that even a values-driven corporate strategy thrives only in a supportive policy environment.

The fashion and textile industry uses 3.25B tonnes of material annually, but recirculates 0.3%.

Since 2018, the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) have harmonized circularity across industries, support companies on policy and disclosure requirements, and foster collaboration across value chains.
