“…The explicit integration of circular business model inquiries was predicated on Lacy et al's 4 foundational circular business models, serving as the basis for specialised models. This was crucial due to the need for comprehensive R-imperatives and strategies in the evaluated valuation models, including the foundational ones 41 As the involvement of all stakeholders is a central success factor for the implementation of the CE, a wide range of stakeholders were considered during the development process of the assessment tool.…”

“…For instance, the evaluation model from Sacco et al [2021]. stands out for its extensive representation of Eurostat Circular Economy Indicators 41,57 . Conversely, the MATChE tool 25,41 evaluates organisational strategies, allowing it to align well with the Eurostat and R-strategy indicators presented by Franco et al 37 .…”

The circular economy (CE) has gained significance in recent years due to its potential to achieve economic benefits and address ecological challenges. Mechanical engineering companies face the challenge of transitioning to a circular economy, which offers advantages like improved resource utilisation, reduced dependence on external suppliers, and enhanced production and supply chain efficiency. However, implementing circular economy principles proves difficult for manufacturing firms. Measuring circularity poses significant challenges, necessitating assessing methods' development, application, and validation. Industry-specific key indicators and data quality assurance are crucial in this regard. Existing models struggle to adapt to diverse contexts and industries. This paper presents an industry-specific method for assessing mechanical engineering companies' circularity and maturity level, developed using the Design-Science-Research Methodology. Based on the circular value chain, the method evaluates the maturity and circularity levels of the focused sector through 66 specific questions in 33 different areas of the company. The results are divided into the maturity and circularity levels of value-adding and strategic processes and are visualised using spider diagrams. The purpose of this model is to survey the circularity and circular economy maturity of mechanical engineering companies of specific regions and sectors.

“…However, the weight and indicators given to each of the pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental and social) differs greatly from one SR to another, with the social dimension being the least developed, as concluded by Alejandrino et al (2022Alejandrino et al ( , 2021 or Calzolari et al (2022). This fact was also noted in tools capable of measuring, monitoring and communicating the level of circularity of organisations (Valls-Val et al, 2022), where social performance was considered only in 60 % of the tools and with <20 % of the questions/indicators.…”

This paper investigates whether and to what extent circular economy performance affects the financial performance of a global sample of listed agri‐food firms. Furthermore, the potential moderating role of stakeholder engagement in empowering this relationship has been tested. A circular economy performance index has been developed based on Environmental Social and Governance scores reclassified in the light of the reuse, reduce, recovery and recycling (4R) paradigm. Then, a multivariate regression model from 2015 to 2022 has been carried out. A broader theoretical framework has been adopted, combining the natural resource‐based view and stakeholder theory. The results show a positive relationship between the circular economy performance, the financial performance and the boosting function played by stakeholder engagement. The study findings provide stimuli for academics and managers to reflect on the profitability of the circular economy and the pivotal role of stakeholder engagement in giving a significant impulse to the circular transition.
