The Crown Estate has joined the Circular Economy 100 (CE100) programme, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, in a three-year partnership to embed the principles of the circular economy across the business and its activities.

Managing a £12bn portfolio of commercial property, leisure destinations, rural land and offshore wind farms, the Crown Estate is building upon its existing circular economy initiatives that divert 98 per cent of waste from landfill and projects to increase the use of electronic vehicles to embed the principles of the circular economy in its operations and reach its targets for a carbon-free, waste-free business by 2030.

Earlier this year, The Crown Estate published its second report into its innovative 'Total Contribution' approach to understanding the impacts beyond traditional financial indicators and measure the broader value the business creates through its activities. The Crown Estate is now collaborating with A4S (Accounting for Sustainability) to test this approach.
