Environment and Responsibility in Transitions for Humanity (EARTH)

The purpose of the EARTH group is to act as a collaborative hub that brings together academics, HDR candidates, and external partners to develop impactful research addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges.

With a strong core in management, the group has an interdisciplinary approach that draws on capabilities from a diverse range of disciplines, including finance, marketing, accounting, and the social sciences. This combination enables EARTH to tackle complex sustainability issues from both organisational and systemic perspectives. Its research focus includes sustainable business practices, climate change, corporate responsibility, and organisational resilience, with a clear emphasis on translating research into real-world impact.

Key objectives include fostering high-quality research outputs, supporting grant development and industry partnerships, and building a strong HDR research culture through mentorship, collaboration, and skill development. The group also aims to strengthen engagement with industry and policymakers, ensuring that research contributes to practical solutions and informed decision-making. Overall, EARTH seeks to create a dynamic environment that bridges academia and practice to support sustainable transitions.
