Organisation profile

The Centre for Business, Organisations and Society (CBOS) conducts interdisciplinary, high quality and high impact research on sustainability and business. Our mission is to rethink the role and responsibilities of business in creating a sustainable society; and to provide a theoretically and empirically robust evidence base to help us get there.

We work with business, government and the third sector to encourage collaborative research and develop best practice.

We have an active programme of doctoral research, while the School of Management offers an MSc in Sustainability and Management.
