The conversation continues beyond the conference hall. Academic studies, doctoral theses and books draw on my writing, interviews and contributions to research. Each reference below makes the connection clear.
These books range from procurement and supply-chain management to sustainability in fashion. Each entry points to the passage and explains the reference.
At CDP, my colleagues and I shared data, interviews and programme insight with academic researchers.
Engaging Supply Chains in Climate Change and the related Harvard doctoral dissertation acknowledge our data and interviews. [Study][Dissertation]
Papers in Scientific Reports and Scientific Data thank us for research support and access to data on product carbon footprints. [2020][2022]
Villena and Dhanorkar’s 2020 study in Journal of Operations Management credits our data and insights into CDP Supply Chain. [Study]
With Cate Lamb, I coauthored a World Water Week 2014 abstract on purchasing, supplier engagement and water stewardship. [Conference abstract]
Other studies cite my writing on science-based targets and corporate climate action. The bibliography distinguishes those citations from acknowledgements and institutional CDP references.
Each entry identifies my relationship to that publication. An acknowledgement credits a contribution to the research; authorship remains with the named researchers.
