Are academics lagging in debate on the future of business?
Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson — October 20, 2019
CSB is highlighted for advancing academia's role in addressing the impact of business in society.
Excerpt:
“When Tensie Whelan, the former president of the Rainforest Alliance, joined New York University’s Stern School of Business, it was on condition that it establish a centre to support serious research into sustainability. Now she is running Stern’s Centre for Sustainable Business, she says: 'I’m looking at designing research that will help us best understand how to best design the next stage of capitalism.'
One highlight of that work is a novel methodology called Return on Sustainability Investment, which shows empirically which factors drive sustainable business performance.
Professor Whelan has also turned her research focus on research itself. In a soon-to-be-published journal article, she and Stern colleague Tracy Van Holt analyze about 65,000 academic publications to assess whether research reflects the same level of focus on embedding sustainability into core company operations that we now see in the business community."
