Our Work
Explore our areas of focus
We explore ways to reduce harms associated with social media, artificial intelligence, online gaming, and 3D immersive platforms.
We encourage the financial sector to diversify its own ranks, while also reforming ESG practices to better assess corporate social performance and protect vulnerable stakeholders, especially workers in global supply chains.
We examine the impact of multinational companies on workers' rights in supply chains, outsourced manufacturing, and projects that rely on vulnerable migrant workers.
Through our research and teaching, development of teaching resources, and events for business scholars, we help prepare the next generation of leaders to address human rights responsibly.
