Harry Brookes

BSc Accounting and Finance with Placement Experience

"Working within the audit sector and being enrolled in an apprenticeship I use knowledge of responsible management daily in both my work and to support my learning. It helps me to identify options to help navigate difficult and ethically challenging environments and situations."

Eloise Barnes

BA Business and Management with Placement Year

"Sustainability has been a big focus for the company! I have worked in the paper mill where new sustainable processes are being trialled. I have worked in roles in procurement where ethics is a big topic especially when checking our suppliers are socially compliant.

My learning at university helped to inform me about these themes and think about them in a business context."

Bairavi Sanmugam

MSc Entrepreneurship and Innovation

"Sustainability, ethics, and corporate responsibility are integral to our business operations.

As Finance and Accounts Manager, I ensure financial decisions align with ethical practices, promoting transparency and trust with our stakeholders. In our production, we prioritise sustainable sourcing and work with stakeholders who adhere to ethical practices, ensuring environmental and social responsibility in our supply chain.

Additionally, we strive to minimise waste and promote efficient resource usage in our oil pump trading business, reflecting our commitment to sustainability."

Chinmay Thakkar

MSc Management

"My MSc in Management from Henley has deepened my understanding of values in sustainability, ethics and corporate responsibility, enabling me to align business initiatives with responsible practices.

Supporting the professional development of leaders fosters a culture of accountability and sustainability, which are vital in today's corporate landscape.

These themes not only resonate with Henley's ethos but also ensure our collaborations positively impact society and the global business community."

Emma Vaughan

MSc Real Estate

"More insight into these topics shaped decisions around which companies I applied for and what role I accepted, i.e. somewhere genuinely invested in sustainability and ethical practices. I have also been actively involved in sustainability since starting work as a result of studying the topic."
