In a world shaped by resource scarcity and supply chain challenges, Calvert views the circular economy—a model that minimizes waste and reuses resources—as a strategic investment opportunity. By aiming to break the link between economic growth and natural resource depletion, it offers a resilient model for addressing decarbonization, waste, pollution and biodiversity loss. Companies are adopting circular economy models to address environmental objectives, such as reducing carbon emissions, pollution and waste by improving resource efficiency. Trends like rising energy demand and expanded data processing for artificial intelligence (AI) are increasing the need for raw materials, thereby drawing attention to circularity as a potential solution. Factors such as geopolitical instability and supply chain challenges also contribute to this focus.

Calvert’s Circular Economy Thematic Universe defines a list of companies that are aligned with our circular economy taxonomy and can be used in portfolio construction processes. With deep research expertise, Calvert is well-positioned to design customized investment strategies tailored to clients’ responsible investing needs.
