About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

June 30, 2022

Summit 22, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's flagship event, will convene business leaders and changemakers at The Roundhouse, London, on July 5, 2022. While 2021 saw raised ambition, the Summit will focus on moving from 'hope' to 'how' by showcasing how regenerative circular economy solutions, designed differently from the outset, deliver lasting economic value and better outcomes for the environment and people.
