The Sustainability Hub : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne

Our Research

Management and Marketing researchers have long recognised the sustainability and climate implications of business and consumption practices. Some of this research has been conducted within specialist fields such as corporate social responsibility (CSR), stakeholder theory, ethical consumption, and transformative consumer research (TCR). Many of the issues that researchers address confront the overly narrow focus upon profit or consumption maximisation, without appreciation or integration of broader impacts upon stakeholders and systems. This research hub thus provides researchers with a platform to share and learn from each other, and to encourage cross-disciplinary research approaches to complex sustainability and climate problems.
