A new Call for Book Chapters has been launched for the forthcoming volume Regenerative Luxury in the Age of Conscious Consumption, to be published within the Routledge Group (Taylor & Francis) series Routledge Studies in Luxury Management
This edited book aims to advance scholarly debate on the transition from sustainable to regenerative paradigms in luxury markets. Moving beyond harm reduction and incremental sustainability, the concept of regenerative luxury calls for business models and value systems that actively restore environmental, social and cultural ecosystems while redefining status and value in premium consumption contexts.
The volume invites contributions addressing, among others, the following themes:
- Theoretical foundations and conceptual distinctions between sustainable and regenerative luxury
- Business model innovation for regenerative value creation in luxury industries
- Conscious consumption and the redefinition of status in premium markets
- Psychological drivers of ethical and responsible luxury consumption
- Measurement of environmental, social and cultural impact
- Regenerative supply chains and ethical sourcing in high-end production
- Circular economy integration in luxury sectors
- Branding, transparency and anti-greenwashing strategies
- Regenerative design and bio-based materials in luxury fashion and product development
- Experiential luxury and regenerative tourism models
- Co-creation of value with local communities and artisans
- ESG governance and accountability in luxury markets
- Digital technologies and traceability systems
- Financial performance and long-term value creation in regenerative luxury enterprises
Expressions of interest are invited from scholars with relevant expertise.
Authors should submit an abstract of 500–1000 words by March 27 to lamorim@ua.pt
Submitted manuscripts will undergo a double-blind peer review process, and there are no submission or acceptance fees
