The Circularity Index is a diagnostic tool designed specifically for SMEs. Rather than placing your business on a two-axis matrix like the Compass of Durability, this survey positions your company within one of 16 peer groups, defined by four key criteria:

• Sector (Products or Services)

• Ownership (Owner or Renter)

• Type (B2B or B2C)

• Size (Small or Large)

By comparing your answers to those of top-performing SMEs in your peer group, the Circularity Index reveals where your business stands in terms of circular economy practices and highlights areas for improvement.

The survey includes approximately 90 multiple-choice questions, carefully crafted based on international research. These questions explore eight core dimensions of circularity — from resource management to strategic orientation and leadership values.

Once completed, you’ll receive:

• A radar chart showing your circularity profile

• A benchmark comparison with the top SME in your group

• Personalized suggestions to strengthen your circular economy performance
