The Third Annual Responsible Business Workshop
The Responsible Business Institute (ReBI) at Strathclyde Business School will host the third edition of its Annual Responsible Business Workshop on 31 March 2026 at Strathclyde Business School.
This one-day workshop provides a forum for academic researchers, policy specialists, and industry professionals to discuss recent developments in research on responsible business and sustainable finance. The programme covers topics including supply chain sustainability, biodiversity-related risk, corporate governance, and investor responses to environmental regulation.
In addition to academic presentations, the workshop includes a session dedicated to policy and industry perspectives on sustainability and climate-related issues. Together, these discussions aim to highlight how insights from research, policy, and practice can inform the evolving landscape of responsible business.
