Greenwashing harms the planet and can hurt your company’s bottom line. Here’s how to make your sustainability claims accurate.
For Researchers & Educators
Are you a researcher who studies sustainable business? Do you believe that research can — and should — create real-world impact?
You’re in the right place. We have seven opportunities for you to grow your impact.
1. Draw on 800 resources on sustainability.
Our resource library offers evidence-based content on the frontier of sustainable business. Material is based on the research and experience of managers and academics in our network and is written in an accessible and engaging way.
Wherever possible, our content is also co-created. That means we bring members with complementary ideas together to create new thinking.
NBS also provides resources on how to integrate sustainability into teaching, research, and outreach. Academia-specific resources include our Table of Contents (a monthly compilation of the latest research on management and sustainability), inspiring case studies from other schools, and content focused specifically on the work of business school sustainability centres.
Resources for Academics
2. Engage with the network
Join the NBS community forum to share questions, comments and opportunities with a growing community of academics, managers, policymakers, and students.
3. Produce research that will change the world
NBS seeks to bridge the gap between research and business practice. We have deep experience facilitating knowledge co-creation between these communities and have created a resource library to help researchers co-create rigorous knowledge with practitioners.
4. Contribute an article
Do you know a new way for business to lead positive change? Share your research or experience with the NBS Community by co-creating content with us.
To start, simply tell us about the idea you’d like to share. We’ll assess how we can help you transform it into a podcast, blog, or tweet that will create real impact.
5. Apply for the Research Impact on Practice Award
The annual Research Impact on Practice Award recognizes contemporary, peer-reviewed research that has important implications for practice. The research may focus on any dimension of social or environmental sustainability. NBS co-sponsors the award with the Organizations and the Natural Environment (ONE) Division of the Academy of Management. Submissions are due April 30.
6. Use the Table of Contents
Every month, NBS compiles the latest business sustainability research. We prioritize in-press articles, in order to highlight cutting-edge knowledge. The list draws from Financial Times Top 50 journals and other publications. The list of journals drawn from can be found here.
7. Join the Sustainability Centres Community (SCC)
Do you manage a business sustainability centre housed at a university? Is your centre teaching, conducting research, and working with industry to make social and environmental change? Join an engaged, virtual community of nearly 200 sustainability centres from around the world.
