Strategies for Circular Supplier Selection
A Case Study From The Netherlands
Abstract
This study explores the development of circular supplier selection criteria within the context of sustainable supply chain management. Recognizing the growing importance of circular economy principles in supply chain operations, the research aims to identify and validate key criteria for selecting suppliers who align with circular economy objectives. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study first conducts a comprehensive literature review to establish a theoretical foundation. It then employs case study analysis and expert interviews to empirically refine and validate the proposed criteria. The findings reveal a set of critical factors including environmental, economic, and social dimensions, essential for circular supplier selection. These criteria are instrumental in guiding organizations towards sustainable and circular supply chain practices, fostering long-term environmental sustainability and economic resilience. The study concludes with implications for supply chain management and recommendations for future research in this evolving field.
