The terminology Regenerative Supply Chain
is not yet widely recognized in the Supply Chain field. In this session we looked
a little bit deeper into the terminology in order to try and understand what
impact it could possibly have. Assistant professor at Århus University Henning
De Haas gave an introduction to his understanding of the Regenerative Supply
Chain. He put emphasis on the fact, that mental models play a vital role. After
that, August Krogh From Slowforest
