Abstract: Abstract The main purpose of this exploratory chapter is to shed light on how organizations adopt and implement sustainable practices in order to support the transition towards circular supply chain operations. Although research on circular supply chain models is increasing, their actual adoption and implementation is still poorly understood. Our research context is a so-called “Green Deal”, a Dutch government-supported program in which over 40 private and public organizations voluntarily committed themselves to a transformation towards a circular supply chain model. Our initial results illustrate the internal and external challenges organizations face in such transition processes.
