Centre for Responsible Business
An inspired and committed academic and professional services team are on a mission to become a recognised centre of excellence; regionally, nationally and globally engaged as responsible business champions. We believe with connected, game changing thinking our work will be distinctive, it will build on diverse research strengths from across the College of Social Sciences, reinforce the original civic mission of the University and it can, and will, make a difference.

Operating at the frontiers of intellectual development in responsible business research, education and engagement and working with other businesses, academic institutions, NGOs, policy makers and civic society, we are spearheading a movement for business transformation. Irresponsible businesses break the implicit covenant between society, business and nature, creating unacceptable social, environmental and economic impact. Exploitation of marginalised communities, damage to our ecosystems, unfair distribution of benefits, costs, risks and harm is unacceptable. So the change starts here.
IRRESPONSIBLE DOESN'T MEAN IRREVERSIBLE
