Context

● For years, we have been collecting case studies on best practices in corporate sustainability and circularity.
● This data is public, but it is heterogeneous, unstructured, and scattered across
different documents.
● Its potential knowledge remains inaccessible and difficult to exploit.

Challenge

How can Artificial Intelligence help us to:
1. Organize information in a structured and consistent manner.
2. Understand the relationships between practices, companies, and sectors.
3. Make information assets searchable and usable, transforming them into a shared,
accessible, and continuously updatable knowledge system.

Optional/Possible Guidelines

Structure information scientifically according to three classification axes:
1. Reference sector (SICS)
a. 77 industries grouped into 11 macro-sectors, according to the Sustainable
Industry Classification System (SASB).

2. Product life cycle stage
a. Link each practice to the stage of intervention: production, distribution, use,
end of life, etc.

3. Circular economy action (ISO 59010)
a. Circular sourcing, Design for circularity, Repair & refurbishment, etc.

Main SDGs associated

SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Because the challenge focuses on using AI to systematize industrial sustainability and
circularity knowledge, fostering innovation and efficient processes.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
As it explicitly targets circular economy actions and life-cycle stages, promoting more
sustainable production and consumption systems.
