Our Network evolved from a group of four founding partners, who were the companies that supported Ellen MacArthur during her record-breaking sailing career. From this small original group, in just over a decade, we have convened the world’s leading circular economy network.
The Network’s tiered structure of Strategic Partners, Partners and Members is informed by factors such as organisational size, influence, ambition level, and involvement with our key focus areas.
Strategic Partners
Some of the leading companies in key industries and three of the world’s largest cities. We work closely with this group to support them in becoming circular pioneers, with the potential to set the direction in their respective sectors. The Strategic Partner group also contains our main philanthropic funders.
