About us

The Centre for Resilient Business and Society (CRBS), founded in 2025, is dedicated to advancing knowledge and innovation at the intersection of business resilience and societal well-being.

Our mission is to develop sustainable, agile, and resilient business solutions that maximise long-term economic and social value through interdisciplinary, data-driven research in partnership with industry, government, and societal stakeholders, including charities and NGOs.

We aspire to be a globally recognised leader in research that equips organisations and societies to navigate complexity, manage risk, and thrive amid economic, social, and technological change. Our work addresses critical issues, including:

• Financial and economic crime
• Inclusive and ethical business practices
• Corporate accountability and compliance
• Broader responsibilities of firms to society
• Intersection of emerging technologies with responsible business conduct and societal welfare

Guided by our motto, “Building Resilient Businesses and Societies for a Better World,” we aim to generate research that not only interprets complex challenges but also delivers actionable solutions with measurable impact for policymakers, businesses, and communities worldwide.

Our academics have a strong record of high-impact publications and competitive research funding, working within an expanding network of national and international academic and professional collaborators. Together, we strive to shape a future in which businesses and societies are equipped to meet the needs of both current and future generations.
