However, their scope is limited, as they lack sufficient knowledge to apply them effectively. This is due to the difficulty of obtaining the necessary information and the weak connection with the functions of companies' functional areas. Knowing that organizations evolve over time, not only in terms of strategy development but also in terms of leadership, innovation, and structure, it is necessary for indicators to adapt to these needs. This study aims to analyze the impact of indicators on CE strategies and solutions, life cycle stages, and industrial functional areas, considering the Basque Country in Spain as a case study. For this purpose, a literature review has been carried out identifying applicable indicators and a study on the indicators that BC companies use on a daily basis. The analysis found that 67% of the indicators only consider a CE strategy and solution, while only 2.5% impact all life cycle stages. Additionally, it was found that the use of indicators in companies does not provide a global and holistic view of CE. This highlights the need to develop a new model of indicators that responds to the needs of companies. 1530-9290 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=178444 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/6784 Business functional areas Circular economy Circular business model Resource efficiency Sustainability reporting ODS 8 Trabajo decente y crecimiento económico ODS 9 Industria, innovación e infraestructura Analyzing the scope and effectiveness of business-level circularity indicators
