Organizing Regenerative Supply Chains: How to Collectively Synergize With Social‐Ecological Systems

ABSTRACT Regenerative supply chains are essential to social‐ecological wellbeing but have proven difficult to organize. This editorial builds upon the principles introduced by Gualandris et al. (2024) to theorize two novel structural dimensions that are critical to organizing regenerative supply chains: eco‐effective organizing and community‐like organizing. In developing these dimensions, supply chain members can improve the marginal productivity of misplaced or degraded resources while strengthening relationships to each other and to their bioregions. Together, the two dimensions underpin the ability of supply chain members to see the benefits of collectively contributing to improvements in social‐ecological systems despite self‐interested incentives in competitive marketplaces. This editorial also presents an overview of the articles published in the JSCM Special Issue on Regenerative Supply Chains , noting the way each article expands the understanding of regenerative supply chains. This editorial concludes with promising avenues for future research concerning the development, functioning, and competitive dynamics of regenerative supply chains.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Regenerative supply chains are essential to social‐ecological wellbeing but have proven difficult to organize. This editorial builds upon the principles introduced by Gualandris et al. (2024) to theorize two novel structural dimensions that are critical to organizing regenerative supply chains: eco‐effective organizing and community‐like organizing. In developing these dimensions, supply chain members can improve the marginal productivity of misplaced or degraded resources while strengthening relationships to each other and to their bioregions. Together, the two dimensions underpin the ability of supply chain members to see the benefits of collectively contributing to improvements in social‐ecological systems despite self‐interested incentives in competitive marketplaces. This editorial also presents an overview of the articles published in the JSCM Special Issue on Regenerative Supply Chains , noting the way each article expands the understanding of regenerative supply chains. This editorial concludes with promising avenues for future research concerning the development, functioning, and competitive dynamics of regenerative supply chains.
