Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical and conceptual approach for measuring the supply chain’s performance in the circular economy era. Since not only economic but also environmental, social, and especially circularity performance must be measured within circular supply chains, adapted performance measurement systems are required. The proposed performance measurement system is based on a SCOR model adapted for circular supply chains (including the processes use and recover) and provides a comprehensive composition of indicators to holistically measure the supply chain’s performance from an economic, environmental, social, and circular perspective.
