Business & Society is delighted to announce our new Deputy Editors: Punit Arora, Nelarine Cornelius, Céline Louche, & Rajat Panwar.

Professor Punit Arora

I am Chair of Economics & Business department at the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership and a member of doctoral faculty at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. My research examines issues surrounding new business-society compact, sustainability, CSR, corporate governance, social issues in management and entrepreneurship. Prior to joining academia, I held leadership positions in government, business and international organizations. I am also a former member of the prestigious Indian Civil Service. I have had the pleasure of advising advised business, governments and development organizations in over 50 countries.

Professor Nelarine Cornelius

I am Professor of Organisation Studies and a member of the Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity at Queen Mary, University of London. My research interests focus on equality fairness and social justice, ethnicity and race, and management practices in emerging, fragile economies. I have published in a range of international journals, including British Journal of Management, Journal of Business Ethics, Information Systems Journal and Human Resource Management Journal. I also advise organisations across all sectors on HRM, change management and fairness and social justice issues.

Professor Céline Louche

I am professor of Business & Society at Audencia Business School, France. Sustainability has always been at the heart of my professional activities. I started my journey as sustainability analyst at Triodos Bank in the Netherlands and then embarked on a PhD project to explore the relationship between finance and sustainability. Over the years, my research projects have expanded beyond finance to explore areas such as global value chains, business models for sustainability and innovation. Whatever the focus is, I am keen to investigate the interplay between business and society and how organizations and systems transform (or not) towards sustainability.

Professor Rajat Panwar

I am an Associate Professor of Responsible Business Practices at Oregon State University, USA. My work spans wide-ranging topics as Business & Biodiversity; Deforestation, Ecosystems Restoration, and Global Value-Chains; Corporate Transparency; Regulated CSR, NatureBased Solutions to Climate Change, and Circular Economy. I have a PhD in Forestry (from Oregon State University) and a DBA (from Grenoble Ecole de Management, France). As a native of India, I grew up loving nature and being sad about its destruction. In addition to academia, I actively engage with multilateral organizations and has served as a consultant to the United Nations and the World Bank.
