The Responsible Business Conduct Lab investigates the politics and regulation of human rights, worker rights and environmental sustainability in global supply chains.

Applying a combination of social science and computational approaches, it investigates contemporary global supply chain structures, the characteristics of supply chain regulation and supply chain governance, and the political strategies of governmental and nongovernmental actors shaping responsible business conduct.

The Lab’s output is both academic and practitioner oriented and contributes to debates on how to shape supply chains and supply chain governance so that production becomes more sustainable and fair.
