Abstract
This study is centred on introducing a distinctive landscape towards a circular economy powered by blockchain‐enabled supply chain finance strategies. Our research examines five cases engaged in helping organisations achieve their circular economy targets. The objective is to establish a comprehensive framework for circular economy. Within these secondary data‐based case studies, we identify the challenges faced by a typical linear economy and how modern and blockchain‐driven platforms are helping businesses contribute to the circular economy. The outcome of our study proposes a three‐step approach unveiling blockchain technologies, supply chain finance strategies and enablers of circular economy contributing to 10R principles. Our study underscores how these cases across the globe can serve as valuable examples to other organisations, encompassing sectors from manufacturing to core‐service based such as e‐commerce. These sectors involve complex supply chains, and hence, blockchain‐enabled supply chain finance strategies can be a solution to foster a circular economy. In conclusion, our research not only provides theoretical and practical insights and implications for policymakers but also lays the groundwork for potential future research in this domain.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
