The strategic lever 'funding' is building an investment policy targeting the circular economy. We look for investment budgets to scale up strong projects. Explore the possibilities of working with a circular economy fund. And make the link to the European stimulus and investment policy.
The good news? There is growing attention in the financial sector to the circular economy. But there are two bottlenecks to obtaining funding:
- If the transition from linear to circular activities is gradual, financial institutions do not always assess them as circular. Applications then fall under the 'conventional' credit assessment, with unfavourable outcomes.
- Applications that are just too innovative are considered risky because there are many uncertainties, no cash flow or track record. Their assessments also have unfavourable outcomes.

For this exact reason, the strategic lever 'funding' aims to contribute to an appropriate, watertight assessment of a circular funding application We include the entire value chain in the assessment. We provide circular metrics. And we make the link to a whole host of support measures for circular business.
