The Circular Economy Club (CEC) is the largest international network of circular economy professionals and organizations with over 260 CEC local chapters in over 110 countries. Non-for-profit, global and open to anyone to join the club for free.

Vision: We envision a new era where all cities worldwide function through a circular model, setting the end of an age of waste.

Mission: We aim to bring the circular economy to cities worldwide by building strong local networks to design and implement circular local strategies, embed the circular economy in the education system and help circular solutions scale.

The goals by 2022 are:

Bringing together local actors to create circular economy strategies in 200 cities.
Embedding the circular economy in 200 university curriculums.
Supporting 200 startups and companies to implement circular practices, through mentoring, funding and communications.
Those goals are achieved by the CEC online platform and three main programs:

CEC Official Certificate - for those aspiring to be accredited with the highest professional circular economy standards.
CEC Chapters program - for circular leaders to bring the circular economy to live in their cities, universities, hubs and companies;
CEC Mentors program - for members with expert skills to give free advice to the most promising circular talent; and
CEC Global events - for members to work collaboratively to solve local and global challenges.
CEC was formally established in London by Anna Tarí, who realized that there were a number of great initiatives but lacking visibility, the right tools, funding and connections in order to have an impact. CEC was set up to bridge this gap and to establish strong connections amongst the circular economy community, to share best practices and try our best to have an impact at a local and global level simultaneously. CEC is managed voluntarily by a team of 37 volunteers based all over the world and supported by the work of engaged club members who volunteer as CEC Mentors to give free mentorship to the youngest members, and CEC Organizers who bring CEC activities to their cities, universities and organizations.

Circular economy: An Alternative for the “Take, Make, Consume and Dispose” Mindset. At the CEC network and event platform, we trust there is a solution to have economic growth while healing our planet, and this is to move from living in a linear model -based on the obtention of resources, production and waste- to a circular one.

SANNAS is a business association that aims to extend a new way of understanding economic activity from a triple bottom line perspective: one that considers that there is a need for an economic balance, as well as ecological and social balance.

To have dialogue with market agents, to generate nodes and collaboration networks ... In short, to extend the Triple Balance economy.

We are more than 100 companies from very diverse sectors that agree on a vision: we care about being profitable, but also positively impacting the social and environmental environment. We want to continue growing in order to have the capacity to dialogue with the administration and with different institutions to lobby for a TRIPLE BALANCE business network.

SANNAS is a member of Ecopreneur.eu, the European Sustainable Business Federation, which sets a course towards sustainable economic policies on the European level to support the economic and societal transformation across Europe and beyond. The Federation fundamentally carries out political advocacy activities and actions to generate a regulatory framework that is more favorable to sustainable SMEs. Main focuses are: circular economy, ecodesign, tax reform, eco-entrepreneurship, SDGs, climate change and energy transition.

We believe in the individual potential as the solution to any major personal, organizational, societal or environmental challenge.

The way we unleash the potential is through holistic professional and personal development program using personal mastery tools to facilitate and live Theory U.

Why do we do what we do?
​Driven by our founder's own personal and professional experience, our mission is to empower future generations to become future-proof leaders. Leaders who in addition to securing their future, secure a future of a better society and the planet in line with UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG´s).

Vera's interest in leadership and how to change it started at age 14 when she fled with her family from Serbia due to war. She left the world of multinationals to create impact in a more structured and global way. To create it with YOU.

SPLODER (Smart Planning and Operation of Distributed Energy Resources) is a disruptive flexibility exchange technology, developed and owned by STEMY, that interconnect end-users of electricity with local and national wholesale and ancillary energy markets, allowing the inclusion of distributed demand-side resources to provide cross-market flexibility services considering both implicit and explicit demand response.

SPLODER flexibility exchange approach is focused on small consumers (residential and SME sectors), allowing distributed actors to connect as individuals within a single integrated eco-system; designed to manage all device loads and distributed energy resources (DER) in a holistic self-intelligent manner and optimise both energy use and flexibility.
The distributed services are aggregated through different actors (aggregators, retailers, ESCos, energy communities, etc.), to interface directly with the energy markets via SPLODER. The exchange capabilities of SPLODER goes even further by managing Community-level and Peer-to-peer markets on local or micro-grid level, whether trading as individuals, or as part of an energy community or aggregated services within an energy community.

SPLODER’s disruptive innovation is able to manage the flexibility of all manageable electric devices at prosumer level in a cost-effective manner, regardless its size, using simple low-cost connected technology as smart-plugs or thermostats, connecting both load devices and DER: hot water cylinders (Heating Water), heating/cooling, water pumps, batteries, electric vehicle charging posts (V2G or G2V) and freezing. Electronic devices can be connected directly to the platform using IoT connection or with a cloud-to-cloud API integration with the manufacturer (hardware agnostic), which is the most common nowadays.

SPLODER is a pioneering solution that allows ‘consumers’ to be at the centre-stage in the new electricity system, becoming active participants as ‘energy citizens’, selling energy services in form of power and flexibility back to the grid, and working in network of communities, aggregating services and enabling peer-to-peer economies. SPLODER is a cloud-based solution with a strong user-centric user experience referred to as Service Dominant Logic design approach.
