4.1 Analyze results
Contextualize your circular performance assessment results to identify patterns, inefficiencies and opportunities for action. Compare results across business units, product lines and value chain stages to identify where targeted interventions can drive the greatest impact. Tracking progress over time allows for thorough evaluations, strategy adjustments and staying in line with internal targets and industry levels.
4.2 Prioritize actions
Integrate insights from the circular performance assessment and the identified impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) to rank potential actions according to their relevance, feasibility, and contribution to organizational objectives. Consider both immediate and long-term value, including cost savings, risk reduction, and innovation potential. This prioritization process enables organizations to focus on high-impact, high-value interventions, providing a clear foundation for the action roadmap.
4.3 Develop your action roadmap
Identify hotspots and areas of strategic importance based on your organization’s exposure to circular risks and opportunities, enabling you to focus efforts on high-impact areas and developing actionable roadmaps to improve circular performance. The combination of the analysis and prioritization sections culminates in the formulation of targets and tangible actions that ensure transparency and accountability.

4.4 Establish governance for circular value
Define strategic priorities, roles and responsibilities, cross-functional collaboration, targets, accountability mechanisms and data structures to embed circularity as a shared organizational priority rather than confining it to sustainability teams. Monitor progress via regular reporting, performance reviews and corrective actions, and maintain comprehensive internal documentation.
