Indicator 9. Share of direct employment from circular activities and projects in the port area

Indicator

Circular Business activities generate revenue and contribute to the circular economy through one, or more R-strategies. Core circular business activities contribute ≥ 70% to the total business revenue.
The port area is defined as the geographical territory managed by the Port Management Body.
This indicator is relative, expressed as a share comparing the number of jobs linked to core circular business activities to the total number of jobs in the port area.

How to measure its value
Survey (core circular) businesses and check national employment statistics.

Notes

Identifying jobs directly created by circular activities is not always straightforward. A relative indicator is preferred, as the shift to a circular economy may also affect the total number of jobs.
