CROP eReport 2018-2019


This report provides information about the centre’s activities during 2018 and 2019 by highlighting its notable projects, and focusing on some of its researchers.

As societies and organisations grow more complex and interconnected, it is important for an organisation to ensure that they develop and maintain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of their actions in a wider context. Established in 2016 the Centre for Responsible Organisations and Practices (CROP) is a vehicle to foster world-class multidisciplinary research in this area.
