About

Mick Blowfield has worked as an academic and consultant in the field of corporate social and environmental responsibility with a particular focus on the socio-political context of corporate responsibility, and the role of business in society. Building on extensive experience in international development, including living and working in twenty different countries, he began a critical examination of corporate responsibility in global supply chains in the late 1990s. He was principal investigator and programme manager for a portfolio of government and corporate-funded projects that analyzed the field of corporate responsibility in the context of developing countries. More recently he has worked with CEOs and other senior executives on the role of business as change agent in 21st century society. His current focus is business as an agent of change in the context of climate change.

As well as a number of policy papers for the UK government, the European Commission, the United Nations, and the World Bank, Mick has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals for business and development audiences, and his Corporate Responsibility: A Critical Introduction was published by Oxford University Press in 2008. He is also a Teaching Fellow at London Business School and a Visiting Professor at Middlesex Business School.
