In-depth assessment of one strategic material across its full value chain, from extraction to end product, identifying critical risks, dependencies, and improvement opportunities.

Our Deep Dive combines resource intelligence, supply chain analysis, and practical business decision-making to deliver clear actions that strengthen resilience, reduce exposure, and unlock value.

The result is concrete recommendations that can stand alone or serve as the foundation for a broader Value Chain Screening over time.

Critical impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities
We assess exposure to resource scarcity, geopolitical instability, and nature-related risks while identifying opportunities for substitution, innovation, and circularity.
Using TNFD’s LEAP approach, we translate findings into actionable insights that strengthen decisions across procurement, risk management, and business units.

From assessment to action: building governance, data, and new business models.
Our Resource Strategy Roadmap turns insights into a clear plan that strengthens governance.
We help companies build solid data and governance systems, integrate resource intelligence into strategy, and advance circular and substitution-based business models.

Stress-testing resilience under geopolitical and environmental change.
We help organisations test the resilience of their operations against multiple futures from resource scarcity to ecosystem decline and regulatory tightening. Our transition plans link supply security and natural capital to financial performance, identifying how shifts could impact production and costs, and defining actions to adapt and grow.

Industry projects and strategic partnerships that connect business, policy and finance. We believe no single organisation can solve systemic challenges alone.

Together we build shared intelligence, align action and accelerate change across value chains. Collaboration is how we build resilience and redefine competitiveness.

Strategic clarity starts with understanding what is at stake.

Resources, nature, regulation and geopolitics are reshaping business conditions faster than most organisations can track. Circle helps leaders stay ahead by turning complexity into clear, decision-ready insight.

Through Sound of Nature and Circle Briefings, we translate emerging developments in nature, supply chains, regulation and resources into what matters for leadership: risk, timing, cost and opportunity. From in-depth conversations to curated executive briefings, we help decision-makers save time, avoid blind spots and brief the board with confidence.
