Introduction

Robert Sroufe is a Professor of Sustainability at Chatham University and is affiliated with its Falk School of Sustainability & Environment. The university describes his academic work as focused on sustainability performance, environmental management systems, supply-chain sustainability, and the development of management approaches that integrate sustainability into organizational decision-making.[1]

Research Profile

Sroufe’s research profile is associated with the study of how organizations establish systems for managing environmental and sustainability performance. Chatham University states that his work considers formal and informal systems for monitoring, reporting, and managing integrated bottom-line performance and examines how these systems interact with operations, supply chains, innovation, and organizational strategy.[1][5]

A major theme in Sroufe’s research is the relationship between environmental management systems and organizational performance. His 2003 study in Production and Operations Management examined how environmental management systems are implemented and how they relate to environmental management practices and operations.[3]

Another contribution concerns the integration of environmental considerations into supply-chain strategy. A study published in Business Strategy and the Environment developed a framework for understanding environmental supply-chain strategy using company interviews and prior research, with attention to integrating environmental issues into supply-chain decision-making.[4]
