Thought Leaders

Meet the BSC Experts

At the Business Sustainability Collaborative, thought leaders across disciplines come together to tackle real-world business challenges through social and environmental innovation.

More than a quarter of the faculty in the Poole College of Management work with us to integrate sustainability into their curricula — and their research drives and measures sustainability practices to foster better business outcomes. From studying the habits of green shoppers to examining labor and human rights in the supply chain, our experts are cultivating insights that make the case for business as a force for good.
