Impact
Our strategy for impact is rooted in collaboration and external partnerships with institutions that share our values and mission to build sustainable organisations and enterprises that are effective, ethical and that promote social justice. We are focused on developing research which delivers benefits for all our partners and stakeholders, including community organisations, private businesses, third sector organisations, non-governmental organisations, and central and local government. The work developed by our Business researchers has influenced and transformed the accounting, reporting and decision-making practices and processes of institutions across the UK and Europe.
