In the ever-evolving landscape of corporate sustainability, the need for precise, transparent, and actionable data has never been greater. As businesses worldwide strive to enhance their sustainability practices and comply with regulatory standards like the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) Tool emerges as a game-changer. Read on to get an introduction to CTI Tool, explore its features, benefits, and how it can revolutionize circular economy and sustainability reporting for businesses.
What is CTI Tool?
The Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) framework, developed by WBCSD together with industry leaders and sustainability experts, provides a standardized methodology for assessing circularity and resource efficiency across various aspects of a company’s operations. Building on this framework, we developed the CTI Tool, a comprehensive software platform that enables businesses to measure, manage, and report on their circular economy and sustainability practices efficiently.
Key Features of the CTI Tool
The CTI Tool offers a robust framework for measuring circularity, covering key aspects such as material flows, resource efficiency, and product lifecycle. It provides detailed insights into how well a company is managing its resources, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal and recycling.

One of the core strengths of the CTI Tool is its alignment with internationally recognized standards and frameworks, including ESRS and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This ensures that businesses can produce standardized and comparable sustainability reports, meeting regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations.
User-Friendly Interface
