Manuscript Topics

Particularly in the field of supply chain management, the importance of moving towards greener methods has been increasingly acknowledged recently. In traditional supply chain models, there is often a perceived conflict between the objectives of achieving optimal efficiency and cost-effectiveness, and promoting environmental sustainability. However, given the multitude of environmental challenges we currently encounter, such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity, and the depletion of resources, it becomes evident that a significant shift in paradigm is imperative. The primary objective of this special issue, titled "Decision Innovation for Eco-Regenerative Supply Chains: Beyond Sustainability to Ecosystem Regeneration," is to examine and expedite the aforementioned move by emphasizing innovative plans that mitigate adverse impacts and contribute to the restoration and rejuvenation of the natural environment.


Traditional supply chain models cause a lot of damage to the environment when used. Green supply chains, however, are reducing the impact of negative outcomes by adopting environmentally friendly and enduringly sustainable measures. This models, for one, prioritizes the practice of recycling and reusing materials. Although these models do exhibit progress, their primary objective often revolves around mitigating the adverse consequences rather than fostering comprehensive environmental enhancement. Thus, eco-regenerative supply chains offer a novel approach that surpasses traditional notions, thereby providing a new perspective. The focus is on promoting eco-regenerative approaches to restore and rejuvenate ecosystems, with the objective of establishing supply chains that are industry advantageous and devoid of any adverse environmental effects.


The primary objective of this special issue is to address a gap in the existing body of literature by showcasing decision innovations that embrace eco-regenerative principles. To effectively enhance the health of ecosystems, it is imperative to investigate novel supply chain resources and methodologies. Furthermore, the present special edition will delve into the examination of how policies and governance mechanisms can effectively facilitate the development and implementation of eco-regenerative supply chains. This special issue holds significant relevance in the field of environmental science during this critical period. Shifting the emphasis from mitigating harm to facilitating the restoration of ecosystems ought to be embraced as the prevailing paradigm. The objective of this publication collection is to inspire and guide researchers, corporations, and governments in their efforts to establish supply chains that have the capacity to rehabilitate and sustain the ecological well-being of global ecosystems. This endeavor will be accomplished by utilizing innovative decision strategies, putting them into practice effectively, while creating policy frameworks that support them.


The point of editing this special issue is to initiate a discourse on eco-regenerative supply chain practices, with the aim of fostering a sustainable and eco-regenerative supply chain industry. The subsequent delineation comprises potential topics, but the journal strongly encourages articles that go further into these themes and provide fresh viewpoints in this important area of study.
