The Centre for Responsible Business undertakes ground-breaking, interdisciplinary research and education, engaging with partners to identify and overcome the barriers that stop businesses from creating positive change for all. Our work represents the breadth of research into responsible business at Birmingham Business School. Opened in 2018 as a collaboration between Lloyds Banking Group and Birmingham Business School, the Centre for Responsible Business was created to undertake ground-breaking, interdisciplinary research into what it means to be a Responsible Business. Since then, it has engaged with many partners to produce insightful academic research from carbon accounting and reporting to responsible marketing and consumption, and to translate this into a portfolio of practical resources to be used for education and business transformation. Today, with over 75 academic associates and growing, the Centre continues to explore and redefine what Responsible Business means and may become, drawing upon the breadth of research across Birmingham Business School. Join us on this important journey.
