Regenerative Supply Chain Practices and Firm Performance: A Secondary Data Analysis

This thesis asks whether regenerative supply chain policies actually pay off for firms, focusing on two industries where the environmental stakes are particularly high: agriculture and textiles. Comparing certified and non-certified companies through a quantitative analysis, the study looks at whether regenerative practices correlate with better profitability, efficiency, or market positioning. The goal is not just to confirm or reject a general "business case for sustainability," but to understand under what conditions, if any, these strategies translate into a real competitive edge.
