Risk management in closed-loop supply chains: A methodology towards fair distribution of financial gains
Abstract
The transition from linear to closed-loop supply chains can generate financial gains through the recirculation of residual materials. However, closed-loop supply chains face risks of financial losses that may impact all stakeholders. Therefore, to mitigate stakeholders’ risk aversion and ensure their profitability, a systemic risk management approach for closed-loop supply chain managers is necessary. This article proposes a novel methodology to support a fair distribution of the financial gains resulting from the circular economy, based on stakeholders’ contributions within the closed-loop supply chain, by sharing risks among them. The main contributions of this study include the conceptualization of four risk categories to assess (pre-existing, new, individual, and interrelated), and the definition of eight stakeholders’ contribution criteria (categorized into investment, responsibility, control, and qualification). The risk management methodology was applied to a real case study of a closed-loop supply chain involving two stakeholders for the reuse of spring street sweepings in winter road maintenance. The results demonstrate that: i) the transition generates a 4,666 gain for the service provider due to risk reduction, and iii) risk sharing enables a fair distribution of the total $30,734 gain based on stakeholders’ contributions (55% for the road authority and 45% for the service provider). This study should encourage closed-loop supply chain managers to address risks of financial losses to overcome stakeholders’ reluctance to engage and collaborate in closed-loop supply chains, thereby strengthening their implementation

Supporting sustainability: A philosophical analysis of certain assumptions underlying occupational therapy
Abstract
Background:
The relevance of supporting sustainability within occupational therapy is increasingly demonstrated and argued for. However, difficulties persist in supporting sustainability in practice, which presents occupational therapists with an occupational paradox. Why is sustainability still so difficult to include into occupational therapy practice?
Purpose:
The objective was to analyse certain assumptions underlying the profession that may constitute potential obstacles to the inclusion of sustainability in practice.
Method:
To identify and critically examine these assumptions, a philosophical analysis of five key concepts of the profession was carried out based on a triangulation of two philosophical methods.
Findings:
The results reveal that the five concepts analysed—person, occupation, environment, health, and justice—may act as barriers to support sustainability within the practice.
Conclusion:
A paradigm shift is therefore relevant, even necessary in the current climate emergency to mitigate its impacts. This is especially relevant as the climate crisis poses the greatest threat to health and endangers the ability of humans to engage in occupations essential for well-being and survival.
Résumé
Contexte.
La pertinence d’inclure la durabilité à la pratique de l’ergothérapie est de plus en plus démontrée et argumentée. Cependant, des difficultés persistent pour l’inclure dans la pratique, ce qui place les ergothérapeutes face à un paradoxe occupationnel. Pourquoi est-il encore si difficile d’inclure la durabilité à la pratique de l’ergothérapie?
But.
L’objectif était d’analyser certaines présuppositions au fondement de la profession qui constituent des obstacles potentiels à l’inclusion de la durabilité à la pratique. Pour identifier et examiner de manière critique ces présuppositions, une analyse philosophique de cinq concepts clés de la profession a été réalisée sur la base d’une triangulation de deux méthodes philosophiques. Les résultats révèlent que les cinq concepts analysés (personne, occupation, environnement, santé et justice) peuvent constituer des obstacles à l’inclusion de la durabilité à la pratique. Un changement paradigmatique semble dès lors pertinent, voire nécessaire, dans le contexte de l’urgence climatique actuelle, pour atténuer les impacts de cette crise. Cela est d’autant plus pertinent dans le contexte où la crise climatique est non seulement la plus grande menace à la santé, mais également une menace importante à l’engagement dans des occupations pouvant contribuer au bien-être, voire à la survie humaine
