The research hub examines complex interactions between business, ethical responsibility, societal structures and governance systems. We conduct interdisciplinary research with the aim of converging socio-political issues, ecological concerns and contemporary business practices to understand the dynamic relationship between business and society. By combining critical theory, applied ethics, and practical inquiry in an ever-changing world, we address the impact of the most pressing grand challenges impacting contemporary organizations and their responses to it. Our work contributes to building more just, sustainable and inclusive institutions through theoretical insights and developing practical strategies that inform policymakers, academics and practitioners.
