School for Business and Society
Leading the way for social and economic progress.
Research and innovation
Delivering impactful interventions across business and society to build a more sustainable and inclusive society.
Our new interdisciplinary School brings together a groundbreaking combination of disciplines. We'll deliver real societal impact through research which looks at key debates in public policy, business and society.
External engagement
Helping a wide range of organisations to succeed.
We're collaborating with partners across business, public and third sectors to ensure they are successful and sustainable. In parallel, we're working with managers and policymakers to help organisations build more sustainable communities, fairer societies and positive environmental outcomes.
Where business meets social progress
Our new School is uniquely placed to lead business and public policy action to tackle complex social and environmental issues and deliver sustainable inclusive growth.
We're combining and amplifying strengths in responsible business management, social and public policy, social work and public management, to create an environment that will help develop the ethical leaders of tomorrow.
