About the Event:

The sixteenth lecture in this series was presented by Professor Neeru Paharia (W. P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University) on 4 May 2023.

In this talk, she considered the psychology of consumer behavior, and explored psychological strategies to enable more sustainable consumption. She further discussed whether it is the consumers’ responsibility to consider sustainability in the supply chain, or whether more effective change can be made within corporations, or from policy.
