Abstract

To promote the circular economy and change unsustainable business practices, policymakers are increasingly implementing novel policy instruments. Fostering repair is increasingly seen as a concrete strategy towards strong circularity, involving disruptive business model (BM) transformations.This study explores the impact of the recently implemented mandatory repairability index in France on BMs, utilizing a case study methodology with an embedded design.Our findings reveal 19 emerging company practices that affect all main BM dimensions. We identify three ways retailers and manufacturers adopt the index to shift towards repair‐oriented BMs.While the literature on the interplay between public policies and circular BMs has mainly focused on command‐and‐control policies for circular economy strategies other than repair, we show how an informative policy instrument transcends its role as mere consumer information. Instead, it emerges as a versatile management tool, facilitating the adoption or up scaling of diverse repair activities. However, informative instruments do not ensure widespread diffusion of repair‐based BMs. Instead, we emphasize the imperative of promoting repair through a comprehensive and evolving policy mix.

为了促进循环经济,改变不可持续的商业行为,政策制定者越来越多地采用新颖的政策工具。本研究采用嵌入式设计的案例研究方法,探讨了法国最近实施的强制性可修复性指数对企业经营的影响。我们发现了零售商和制造商采用该指数转向以维修为导向的基本经营管理的三种方式。虽然有关公共政策与循环型基本经营管理之间相互作用的文献主要集中于除维修以外的循环经济战略的命令与控制政策,但我们展示了信息性政策工具如何超越其作为单纯的消费者信息的角色。相反,它是一种多功能的管理工具,可促进采用或扩大各种维修活动的规模。然而,信息工具并不能确保以修复为基础的基本管理的广泛传播。相反,我们强调必须通过全面和不断发展的政策组合来促进维修。

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.
