Sustainability

 

At the Adam Smith Business School, sustainability is not just a research theme; it’s a cross-cutting commitment that underpins work across Economics, Management, and Accounting & Finance.

Researchers are addressing urgent global challenges, from responsible consumption and climate finance to social justice and equitable policy design. With projects spanning sustainable business practices, circular economies, and green innovation, ASBS scholars are generating insights that influence both academic discourse and real-world change.

Their collaborative, interdisciplinary approach reflects the School’s strategic focus on research with impact, helping to shape a more sustainable and inclusive future.
