Several key papers were presented. These were:

Climate-related Compensation and Carbon Washing: International Evidence - presented by Hongjun Wu (School of Management, Xiamen University)
The event also featured a keynote speech by Professor Ming Jia. He is the section editor of the Journal of Business Ethics. He shared valuable insights and guidance on quantitative research in corporate social responsibility (CSR).
About the conference
The Tri-University Annual Conference is a joint initiative between three institutions:
- Newcastle University Business School
- Cardiff Business School
- School of Management at Xiamen University
Each institution takes turn hosting the conference. It serves as a platform for researchers to share their work and ideas. In particular, it focuses on work related to sustainability, business, and social responsibility.
The conference allowed us to showcase our contributions and share our expertise. Our delegates met with scholars from our partner universities. We underlined our commitment to advancing research in sustainable society and corporate social responsibility.
Newcastle University Business School hosted the conference last year. We look forward to next year's conference, which will be hosted by Cardiff University.
