ABSTRACT The ongoing debate in corporate sustainability (CS) about the moral case versus business has recently made its way into circular economy ( CE ) discourse, bringing with it new tradeoffs. Although perspective emphasizes profitability, critics argue that must go beyond profit motives and include environmental social goals. Despite growing importance of this debate, a detailed analysis comparing tradeoffs between cases within context been largely bypassed literature. This article aims to bridge gap by exploring contrasts these highlighting co‐evolutionary relationship them transition. Our contributions are threefold: (1) We many perceived limitations contemporary arise from viewing as statically inevitable rather than dynamically resolvable. (2) conceptualize cases, suggesting over time, innovative governance, elements can be transformed cases. (3) propose definition for (i.e., cases) contending motive inherent can, through aligned circularity societal well‐being.
