Presentation

I work full-time as a sustainability practitioner on the climate change team at BSR (Business for Social Responsibility) and also maintain an appointment as an Assistant Professor at MSC. I am particularly interested in the interlinked and complex nature of sustainability governance, particularly with regard to companies’ international supply chains.  What is the responsibility of business to manage, mitigate and govern sustainability issues?  Why do companies choose different modes and approaches to do this?  What’s the difference in utility between different modes and models of collaborative organizing?  What governance approaches can make international supply chains more sustainable?  These indicative questions guide my research and practice on sustainability governance issues.  As well, am keenly interested in research relevance and bridging the research-practice gap.

Primary research areas
  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
  • Private Governance
  • International Supply Chains / Global Value Chains
  • Sustainability
  • Collaboration and Partnerships (e.g. MSIs)
