Hilti Group uses the Circelligence solution
The Hilti Group is a leading global company in providing innovative equipment, software and services to the construction industry. It has become known that the industry leader is using the Circelligence solution to increase the circularity of its resources. The Circelligence tool is based on the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). It is based on the BCG “Circelligence” methodology. With this software, Hilti will be able to maximize the value of raw materials and resources.
“There is no internationally recognized standard for measuring circularity as opposed to, for example, measuring greenhouse gas emissions. So, we created one for our purposes. Ultimately, we wanted to set an example for the industry, not only the construction industry but the broader landscape of any company that’s embarking on the journey of circularity,” commented Caroline Stern, Head of Circular Economy, The Hilti Group.
