The Pentland Centre is hosting a series of sessions designed for our Professional Services members, and open to Professional Services colleagues across the University, as well as academic colleagues who may not have expertise in the topic. The sessions are designed to present research expertise in straightforward language, making it easier for non-academic staff to engage with the speaker's work. 

This research explainer session, led by Jan Bebbington, will explore the emerging connections between business and biodiversity, a relatively new topic in business and management research. The session will introduce the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business Knowledge and Action hub, describing the kinds of work being conducted. It will also highlight the various activities being studied and how they contribute to understanding and addressing business impacts on biodiversity. The session aims to be both informative and inspiring for colleagues interested in this area.

NB: The seminar runs from 14:00-14:50 in CHC- Charles Carter A05 and on Teams. Please note that this session will be recorded.

All Lancaster University staff and students welcome - registration required.

Professor Bebbington’s work focuses on the intersection between corporate and capital market activities and corporate stewardship. Her focus on radical traceability and transparency of corporate impacts provides the basis for corporates to actively contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
