Research suggests namely that some MNC revenues are larger not only than several developing, but also some emerging economies. Other data underscore that three of Sweden's largest MNCs are responsible for more GHG emissions globally, than Sweden in total as a country. Hence, these types of actors are no doubt central not only in society at large, but also in the issue of climate mitigation. Simultaneously though, scholars point out that due to MNCs vast resources in as much monetary terms, as in their role of innovators and global reach, they are also important actors in the climate transition. I conduct my research connected to this paradoxical role of MNCs and in line with SDG 17 concerning partnerships; multisector collaborations.
In terms of academic background, I come from international marketing and sustainable business. My theoretical basis is found within the business network relationship view of multisector partnerships. I teach methods and theory in environmental science as well as sustainable business, and supervise theses at different levels.
Research projects
- Mistra Carbon exit (Mistra)
My specific research in Mistra carbon exit concerns business behavior in relation to public environmental policy connected to GHG emissions. - AICA – AI-powered carbon border adjustments (Vinnova)
The work package I am leading in this project has the aim to assess the role of AI in support of effective and legitimate carbon border adjustments of value chain emissions, implemented under the umbrella of EU’s Green Deal. - MNC involvement in social innovation projects: exploring the liability of newness (Handelsbankens forskningsstiftelser)
- ECIU-university: SMART-ER – public engagement (Horizon 2020)
In this project I am involved in mapping and creating understanding of the member universities’ activities in public engagement.
