Business sustainability researchers provide insights and solutions for the COVID-19 pandemic and for other environmental disasters and stressors.
Challenging times call for shared understanding and collective action.
Several academic networks focused on organizations and sustainability have pooled resources to provide research-based insights into COVID-19. Management scholars from across the globe are identifying innovative ways to navigate the current crisis.
These researchers have spent years studying global challenges, from climate change to social inequity. Their articles tackle different issues around COVID-19, from immediate actions business can take to building long-term resilience among businesses and society.
Explore their insights and share yours. With ideas to share, write to NBS (info@nbs.net) if you are a manager. If you’re a researcher who would like to be part of this initiative, write to Jorge Rivera.
Essays are below and on the websites of Responsible Research in Business and Management (RRBM), Group for Research on Organizations and the Natural Environment (GRONEN), Alliance for Research on Corporate Sustainability (ARCS), Organizations and the Natural Environment: A Division of the Academy of Management (ONE), and Social Issues in Management (SIM).
We continue to extend our best wishes for everyone. This initiative is yet another way that communities can come together.
