Fred Dahlmann is Associate Professor of Strategy & Sustainability at Warwick Business School, University of Warwick, UK. Fred’s research investigates the role of organizational strategies, managerial practices, business models, policies and governance systems as well as individual mindsets in supporting a sustainability transformation. Specifically, he examines how companies (and the public sector) address and respond to systemic issues such as those covered by planetary boundaries and UN SDGs, with ongoing projects focusing on climate change, loss of biodiversity and water risks. Fred is also interested in the emerging phenomenon of the purpose ecosystem as an informal governance mechanism as well as the ethical and practical implications of the Anthropocene for business and managers. Fred’s research has been published in journals such as Organization Studies, Business Ethics Quarterly, International Journal of Operations and Productions Management, Business Strategy & the Environment, Journal of Business Ethics, Environmental Science and Policy, Earth System Governance, and the Anthropocene Review.
