The main objective of the NEBER project has been to develop a structured decision-making method to guide companies in the prioritisation of circular business models based on circularity and triple sustainability criteria and indicators. In this way, it aims to help organisations, especially SMEs and start-ups, to make a predictive assessment of the circular and sustainable possibilities of the business model, based on empirical data, which will help to reduce uncertainty and make better decisions before investing large resources in innovation processes in circular business models.
The project has generated knowledge on green and circular business models and the evaluation of their impact, based on qualitative and quantitative indicators of circularity and triple sustainability. It has succeeded in generating greater knowledge in the development of decision-making methods, anticipation and empirical evaluation of circularity and triple sustainability business models for a sustainable and just ecological transition.
