Abstract: Glasgow is Scotland’s largest and most economically productive city and is currently leading the country’s circular and net-zero transition. Glasgow Chamber of Commerce (GCoC), a business-led voluntary membership organization, is at the forefront of this movement. Since 2015, GCoC through its Circular Glasgow (CG) initiative has focused on unlocking innovation opportunities for businesses by embracing the circular economy. The initiative has implemented many methods of business engagement, including circular mapping and assessments; storytelling, networking and events; city-wide campaigns, employment and education programmes; international trade missions and strategic partnerships. Through these activities, CG continues to foster circular innovation and knowledge exchange, promoting the ways in which the circular economy can benefit both businesses and stakeholders. CG’s goal is to facilitate the transition to circular business models, test creative solutions and develop sustainable economic growth strategies that can help Glasgow achieve its net-zero targets and that can potentially be replicated on a global level.
