My research addresses social justice and environmental sustainability challenges in global supply chains. Projects funded by UKRI (ESRC, AHRC, and BBSRC), the British Academy, the Leverhulme Trust, and the Nuffield Foundation over the past 25 years have investigated various aspects of corporate responsibility and sustainable production and consumption in Kenya, South Africa, Malawi, Pakistan, Malaysia, Brazil, China, the UK, and the USA. Studies have addressed challenges associated with labour standards, including forced labour and modern slavery, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), product safety, and environmental sustainability in sectors including food, horticulture, textiles, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Many of the projects have involved interdisciplinary and international collaboration, and partnership with state, commercial, and third sector organizations.
