Nowadays, the growing importance of circular and sustainable practices is driving companies to reconsider their traditional linear business models and explore circular business models. For these models to be effective and efficient, there is a need to integrate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with circular economy practices. This integration should occur not only at the individual organization level but also across each of the four levels of circular economy measurement—nano, micro, meso, and macro—while also considering the relationships between these levels. The purpose of this thesis is to propose a tool for measuring circularity that enables the alignment of KPIs with circular strategies and business logics of companies and the integration of KPIs at different levels of circular economy. The need to create such a tool arises from gaps identified in the existing literature and in the measurement models analyzed during the research.

Oggigiorno, l’aumentare dell’importanza delle pratiche circolari e sostenibili sta spingendo le aziende a riconsiderare i loro tradizionali modelli di business lineari e ad esplorare modelli di business circolari. Questi modelli, affinché siano efficaci ed efficienti, necessitano di essere integrati con degli indicatori chiave di performance (KPIs). Tale integrazione dovrebbe avvenire non solo a livello della singola impresa, bensì nell’ambito di ognuno dei quattro livelli di misurazione di economia circolare, ovvero nano, micro, meso e macro, considerando inoltre le relazioni che intercorrono tra questi. La presente tesi ha lo scopo di proporre uno strumento per la misurazione della circolarità che consenta l’allineamento dei KPIs con le strategie circolari e le logiche di business delle aziende, nonché l’integrazione di KPIs relativi ai diversi livelli di misurazione dell’economia circolare. La necessità di creare tale strumento deriva da alcune lacune riscontrate all’interno della letteratura esistente e dei modelli di misurazione analizzati durante la ricerca. Parole chiave: Economia Circolare; Misurazione della performance; Indicatori chiave di performance; Sostenibilità; Modelli di business; Integrazione multi-livello.

Abstract
Nowadays, the growing importance of circular and sustainable practices is driving companies to reconsider their traditional linear business models and explore circular business models. For these models to be effective and efficient, there is a need to integrate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) with circular economy practices. This integration should occur not only at the individual organization level but also across each of the four levels of circular economy measurement—nano, micro, meso, and macro—while also considering the relationships between these levels. The purpose of this thesis is to propose a tool for measuring circularity that enables the alignment of KPIs with circular strategies and business logics of companies and the integration of KPIs at different levels of circular economy. The need to create such a tool arises from gaps identified in the existing literature and in the measurement models analyzed during the research.
