The contemporary global landscape is increasingly characterised by a convergence of crises, such as climate change, geopolitical instability, health emergencies, economic fragmentation, and social inequality, collectively referred to as a “polycrisis.” In such a context, the limitations of traditional, efficiency-driven models of operations and supply chains are becoming ever more apparent.

The EurOMA Sustainable Operations and Supply Chains Forum 2026 aims to explore the urgent need for regenerative approaches that aim to restore, renew, and revitalise social and ecological systems, as well as their role in improving resilience and readiness levels in scenarios of multiple, sequential, or parallel crises. Implementing regenerative principles within supply chains presents complex challenges, including institutional and political inertia, technological constraints, fragmented governance, and conflicting stakeholder interests. Thus, we intend to foster a comprehensive discussion that contributes to overcoming these challenges while promoting the development of viable pathways for regenerative transformation in the face of systemic volatility and uncertainty.
