This provides for a practical and usable tool and harmonization with SDG 12.

•Understand and publicly report how procurement, design and use of materials lead to waste-related impacts.
- Provide comprehensive insights into the quantity and quality of waste – including its causes, where it is generated and how impacts are managed.
- Identify and report on circularity and waste prevention opportunities and actions.
- Assess and take responsibility for waste generated throughout the value chain, both upstream and downstream.
