Welcome to the 12th International Conference on CSR, Sustainability, Ethics, and Governance.

The Kemmy Business School (KBS) is delighted to host the 12th International Conference on CSR, Sustainability, Ethics, and Governance in 2026.  We warmly offer a Céad Míle Fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) to all our future delegates.

At the University of Limerick (UL), sustainability is more than a guiding principle—it is a commitment woven into the very fabric of our campus, our teaching, our research, and our community engagement. As an integral part of UL, the KBS promotes academic excellence and innovation, underpinned by our dedication to developing socially responsible business leaders, aligned with our role as a PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education) Champion (UNPRME). 

Our KBS mission is clear: we research and educate to create a sustainable and equitable future for all. We provide our future business leaders with an ethical compass and the capacity to embed environmental, social and economic sustainability at the core of their future careers in business and beyond. As a triple-accredited business school (AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA), KBS is one of Ireland’s most respected institutions for business education, with a strong tradition in accounting, finance, risk, management, and business administration.

This prestigious conference is being led by the Department of Accounting and Finance in the KBS, in partnership with the Global Corporate Governance Institute.  It is a genuine honour to extend an early invitation to you all to join us in Limerick, Ireland, in 2026.  The UL Campus provides an inspiring environment for global collaboration and intellectual exchange.  We are thrilled to follow in the footsteps of distinguished past hosts, in prominent locations worldwide, including London, Nanjing, Cologne, Perth, Santander, Abu Dhabi, Louisianna, Sibiu and Lisbon. 

This international conference serves as a key global forum for advancing business-level social responsibility. It will bring together academics, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world to share cutting-edge research and insights on Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, Ethics, ESG, Climate Risk, Green Finance and Governance across a wide range of contexts.

Delegates will have a unique opportunity to engage with the latest empirical studies and explore practical insights relevant to business, society, policymaking, and education across the globe.  With a broad range of topics covering environmental sustainability, social responsibility and ethical leadership, sustainable finance & ESG investing, governance and accountability among others, this conference promises to be a rich and rewarding experience, offering an unparalleled platform for advancing responsible business leadership on a global scale.

We look forward to welcoming you to Limerick in 2026.
