Research and faculty
We will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value.
Across disciplines we conduct research that promotes corporate social responsibility, awareness of sustainability and ethics.
