Unequivocal evidence demonstrates that current business activities are contributing to surpassing planetary boundaries, threatening current and future generations (Vogel & Hickel, 2023). Economists, environmental scholars, and social movements suggest that a core part of the problem is the widespread imperative of endless economic growth in business practice (Banerjee et al., 2021; Parrique et al., 2023). The post-growth approach challenges the desirability of economic growth as the primary objective for businesses and societies but is mostly unexplored in the OSCM literature. However, it represents a fundamental piece of the puzzle to address sustainability challenges in OSCM, including: adopting the ecological dominant logic in SCM (Montabon et al., 2016), closing the gap between Global North and Global South in global supply chains (e.g., Tate et al., 2019), leveraging the interaction between policy and SCM (e.g., Fugate et al., 2019), producing based on genuine needs (e.g., Freudenreich & Schaltegger, 2020). The purpose of this PDW is to open a collective discussion about how supply chains should be designed in a post-growth era. We will reflect on the topic with invited speaker presentations and roundtable discussions involving experts and participants. The workshop will act as a forum for those interested in the topic to learn from experts from different disciplines, share ideas and receive feedback.
