Created for businesses by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) provide a reliable measurement framework for understanding how companies can increase circularity throughout their value chains and reduce their impact on climate and nature.
By using Circular Transition Indicators (CTI), the CTI Fashion Initiative—one of the most popular circularity assessment frameworks in use worldwide—also satisfies the need for a standardized framework to measure circularity to foster accountability and change.
The purpose of this research is to assist fashion value chain organizations in their efforts to achieve increased circularity in their product offerings, internal operations, and business procedures. The goal is to expand the circular economy for the fashion industry and assist all stakeholders in providing safer, more reusable, more useable, and renewable items manufactured using recycled or renewable materials.
This guide is intended for everyone involved in the fashion supply chain. From brands and retailers in the downstream market to upstream businesses like textile producers, CTI can assist in setting baselines, identifying the most impactful initiatives, and monitoring progress. Companies may rely on CTI to help them understand which circular solutions have the greatest positive effects on roadmaps for biodiversity restoration and carbon reduction, in addition to enhancing the circularity of their resource use. The methodology will be updated in the near future to incorporate social effect assessments. All parties involved in the fashion value chain are encouraged to read over this advice and choose CTI as their go-to framework for circular performance in this situation. It is believed that the fashion value chain can be changed into a value cycle by establishing a common vocabulary and a single way to quantify success.
The CTI Fashion Initiative calls on industry stakeholders to adopt industry-specific metrics for positive change. By integrating these indicators, businesses can guide their operations toward a more circular and sustainable future while maintaining profitability.
