Abstract: The literature on Creating Shared Value (CSV) has largely adopted a normative and strategic perspective, leaving the mechanisms through which value is constructed and stabilized in collective action insufficiently explored. Drawing on Actor-Network Theory (ANT), this study develops a socio-technical approach to CSV through the analysis of a responsible innovation initiative within a local organic food supply chain. The abductive qualitative research is based on the case of the "Bio Français et Équitable" supply chain developed by Picard and the FNAB, using interviews, internal documents, and field observations. The findings show that CSV is not a stabilized state, but an ongoing process of adjustment and negotiation among actors, coordination mechanisms, and economic, social, and environmental rationalities. The article thus proposes a processual understanding of shared value, highlighting the role of coordination mechanisms in the emergence of responsible business models.
