Current activities
Enrico's main research agenda is centred on the phenomena of corporate social responsibility, corporate sustainability and sustainable supply chains in emerging markets, especially in South and Southeast Asia. He is involved in two ongoing research projects: 1) implementing social responsibility and sustainability in emerging markets' supply chains and 2) building a more inclusive workplace.
As a qualitative researcher, Enrico truly believes in the power of ethnography to better understand how to solve social and environmental challenges, and spends considerable time on the context of inquiry. Much of the evidence in his research projects and articles includes the voices of the people (managers and workers) and the perspectives of organizations in emerging markets.
