Goals / Remit
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a charity with the mission to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. The Charity’s communication efforts and insight and analysis are applied across four key areas:
● Business
● Systemic Initiatives
● Institutions, Governments & Cities
● Learning
The Charity aims to have inspired global action at scale and to have created unstoppable momentum towards a circular economy: an economy based on the principles of designing out pollution and waste, keeping products and materials in use and regenerating natural systems. It is an economy that is regenerative by design, distributed, diverse, inclusive and underpinned by renewable materials and renewable energy.Main EU files targeted
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation sat as an invited expert on the European Resource Efficiency Platform, created by Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik, between 2012 and 2014. During 2019 it has informed the European Commission’s Directorate-General Environment. An NGO regulated by the UK charity commission, the Foundation does not represent sectorial or industrial interests, and interacts with EU institutions as provider of economic analysis, case studies and insights on the specific topic of circular economy - for which the Foundation is the global leading reference point. As part of the implementation strategy of the EU Commission’s Circular Economy Action Plan, adopted on Dec. 2, 2015, the Foundation has meetings with various Directorate Generals and regularly intervenes in official events put together by the Commission, the Parliament and the European Economic and Social Council in order to bring its perspective and share knowledge in a policy-relevant yet not prescriptive way.
