Abstract
The agrifood sector provides several opportunities to promote circular economy (CE) mitigating and preventing its adverse environmental impacts. To evaluate the effects of CE in practices and to ensure consistency with business strategies, the implementation of circularity principles requires the adaptation of current performance management systems. The objective of this research is to contribute to the successful implementation of corporate strategies for circularity through the development of a circular balanced scorecard (CBSC) including the construction of data set of specific CE strategies and indicators for agrifood companies in emerging economies. To this end, a systematic review of the literature was carried out to construct the data set and develop the CBSC. The framework offers a theoretical and practical PMS that could help agrifood companies in emerging economies start their circular journey, providing guidance for the definition of CE strategies and the selection of proper indicators to monitor success.
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.
