The Doughty Centre Report

The Doughty Centre aims to combine rigorous research and leading-edge practice. We focus on three things: • Knowledge creation: rigorous and relevant research into how companies can embed responsible business into the way they do business; • Knowledge dissemination: introducing Corporate Responsibility more systemically into existing graduate and executive education (both in relevant open programmes and customised, in-company programmes); and • Knowledge application : working with alumni, corporate partners and others to implement our knowledge and learning.
