GRI is launching a [Business Leadership Forum](https://bit.ly/blfnawaste) (BLF) on the circular economy and waste reporting. Providing expert guidance and peer learning, it will bring together a small group of business executives for a series of interactive sessions over the coming 12 months. Topics addressed will include circularity trends, mapping waste impacts in the value chain, circularity measurement methodologies, company case studies – and more. A key focus of the BLF will be how to make the most of the new GRI Waste Standard, which launched in May. **As Tim Mohin, GRI Chief Executive, explains:** “The GRI Waste Standard enables companies to critically assess waste generation, raise ambition for circularity and be a driver for improvement. This is about fundamentally challenging the perception of waste, from an unwanted residue to a valuable resource.” The BLF involves a series of webinars, which will take place within the North America time zones (participation is open to individuals from around the world). An in-person meeting, in the USA, is planned for summer 2021. [Find out more](https://bit.ly/blfnawaste) about the content and features of the BLF. Registration is open until August 14th. [GRI 306: Waste 2020](https://www.globalreporting.org/standards/work-program-and-standards-review/review-of-gri-waste-disclosures) supports organizations to report a complete picture of waste impacts in their activities, products and services. Developed by a multi-stakeholder group of experts, it is now freely available as part of the GRI Standards.
