Tilburg Sustainability Center
The Tilburg Sustainability Center (TSC) is a commendable initiative by TiU, uniting university researchers who dedicate their academic efforts to addressing a range of sustainability challenges. The TSC research groups revolve around three key pillars: Climate Action & Resource Efficiency, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Governance & Social Innovation.
TSC wants to help deal with the challenges of a globalizing world economy, where climate change and resource scarcity require innovative and interdisciplinary approaches and where both policymakers and corporations find it increasingly important to achieve growth in a responsible and sustainable manner.
By operating on the interface of economics, ethics and law, TSC researchers are excellently placed to provide support to companies, governments and other organizations in their quest for sustainable development.
