Sustainable Innovation for Growth: Exploring circular business models for a logistics service provider
The Finnish Research Impact Foundation
Hanken School of Economics
The circular economy is a model to conserve natural resources, reduce emissions, and create sustainable growth. Logistics companies have a critical role in advancing circular economy solutions in that their supply chains and business models provide opportunities to extend the life cycle of products. However, theoretical understanding of the role of supply chain management and logistics in the circular economy is still in its infancy. This collaboration between Hanken School of Business and Posti will explore how logistics service providers can become enablers and value creators in circular business models. Business model experiments will be conducted in a real market environment with customers and partner companies. The project will employ the design science research method, the results of which are directly applicable in company strategies. The Principal Investigator for the project is Anna Aminoff.
