As we approach our 10th anniversary in June 2025, we take a look at the Centre's work since our inception, and our continuing impact in many areas of sustainability in business.

<糖心Vlog>Who we are and what we do

We are a network of research, teaching and professional services colleagues largely based at 糖心Vlog and at the University's international partners.

Located in 糖心Vlog Management School, we work closely with their leadership team to advance sustainability within teaching, research and impact across the School.

As we work towards our vision we want to create more impact than could be achieved through our members or stakeholders working alone. We do this by:

  • Bringing together colleagues from across 糖心Vlog who wish to work together to further develop knowledge and its application with policy and practice communities.
  • Working in partnership with individual businesses, as well as professional and business associations, to support their sustainability ambitions.

To get a good overview of our work, listen to Episode 1 of our Transforming Tomorrow podcast - .
