Our Resilient Economies and Sustainable Supply Chains research group looks at creating strong social systems that can handle change and future challenges. We study how private, public and third-sector organisations adopt eco-friendly and ethical practices in their operations and supply chains.
We investigate and explore strategies that contribute to building more resilient economies capable of withstanding disruptions and fostering long-term prosperity.
Our objectives
In exploring ways to foster dynamic economies and eco-friendly supply chains we seek to:
- contribute to building resilient economic and business structures, in and beyond the South Yorkshire region
- support the development of adaptable supply chains that incorporate ethical practices
- prioritise social and environmental responsibility by promoting integrity and sustainability
- offer insights that guide policy decisions aimed at cultivating a more resilient and promising future
Who we work with
We partner with a diverse range of organisations to broaden and deepen the scope of our research projects.We’ve worked with various organisations including the Chartered Institute of Housing, local universities, and Yorkshire Water.
We also work to support SMEs, regional businesses and sectoral organisations through knowledge exchange programmes such as Help to Grow. We also facilitate student consultancy projects, and build meaningful, collaborative relationships with external stakeholders through our Employer Advisory Board.
