Indicator 1. Share of circular business activities located in the port area

Indicator

Circular Business activities are defined as revenue generating activities, that contribute to the circular economy. This contribution can achieved through one, or multiple R-strategies.

  • Core CE business activities contribute ≥ 70% of the total business revenue.
  • Peripheral CE business activities contribute < 70%.

This indicator is relative (share), refelcting the number of circular business activities  compared to the total number of business activities in the port area. The port area is defined as the geographical territory managed by the Port Management Body.

How to measure its value

The circular business activities can be identified by the relevant NACE-codes (Bel-first), linked to the R-strategies.
Additionally, the port managing body can be asked to check for missing or wrong data.

Notes
The hierarchy of R-strategies and the extend of their impact are not taken into account.
