For almost two decades Dr. Darnall has been examining firms' sustainability responses to the regulatory and social setting. Her research investigates the reasons why companies supply sustainability strategies, whether these strategies improve the environment, and whether companies that improve the natural environmental also derive business value. More recently she has begun to assess consumers' demand for corporate green strategy and how this demand might be influenced through public policy or business initiatives.
Darnall is a Collaborative Visiting Fellow with the Economic and Social Research Council and the Social Science Research Council, and an Erasmus Mundus International Scholar. She has been awarded the Academy of Management, Organizations and Natural Environment Division's Emerging Scholar Award for research excellence, and its Best Paper Award. Dr. Darnall's scholarship has also received the Decision Science Institute's Distinguished Paper Award. She sits on the Editorial Review Boards of Journal of Business Ethics and Business & Society.
Before joining ASU, Dr. Darnall was Associate Professor of Management and Public Policy at George Mason University, and Assistant Professor of Public Administration at North Carolina State University. Prior to Dr. Darnall's academic career, she worked at Resources for the Future and was an economist for the U.S. Forest Service.green consumerism; information-based environmental policies; self-regulation strategies; sustainable enterprise; voluntary environmental programs; corporate social responsibility; environmental policy; green business practices
