Synthèse
This special issue examines how supply chains are being transformed by regulatory pressures and sustainability imperatives. The convergence of resource scarcity, climate urgency, and increasingly stringent European regulations—including CSRD, CSDDD, and the Digital Product Passport—requires companies to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance into their supply chain strategies. However, this integration raises significant methodological and operational challenges around impact measurement, traceability, and inter-organizational coordination.
The call seeks contributions exploring the tensions and synergies between extra-financial performance requirements and supply chain management from academic, regulatory, and managerial perspectives. Recent regulatory uncertainty, including the proposed Omnibus simplification package, creates new research questions around regulatory path dependency, stranded costs, and the trade-offs between anticipatory compliance and operational greenwashing versus greenhushing strategies.
