Professor N. Craig Smith has been on the INSEAD faculty for the past sixteen years as the INSEAD Chair in Ethics and Social Responsibility at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. He is the Academic Director of ESRI (the INSEAD Ethics and Social Responsibility Initiative) and a specialist professor at the INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre.
He was previously on the faculties of London Business School, Georgetown University, and Harvard Business School. His research is at the intersection of business and society, encompassing business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability. His current research projects examine the pharmaceutical industry response to the Covid-19 pandemic, business and human rights, the “price-tag society”, AI ethics, sustainable consumption, and whether employees will sacrifice pay to work for more socially responsible firms.
He is the author, coauthor or coeditor of nine books and fifty academic articles, as well as over fifty case studies, including many award-winners and best-sellers. His most recent books are:
- The Moral Responsibility of Firms (with Eric Orts; Oxford University Press, 2017)
- Managing the Sustainable Business (with Gilbert Lenssen; Springer, 2019)
- Responsible Marketing for Well-Being and Society: A Research Companion (with Michael Saren, et al.; Routledge, 2024)
At INSEAD, he teaches MBA and executive courses in business ethics, compliance, and strategic corporate social responsibility and sustainability. He is also the Programme Director for the Healthcare Compliance Implementation Leadership Programme (HCILP) suite of programmes in Fontainebleau. As well as a regular speaker at international conferences, he conducts workshops with organizations on business ethics and corporate responsibility/sustainability, including board level workshops on sustainability.
He is a Deputy Editor with Organization and Environment and serves on the Board of Directors and Executive Committee of the Alliance for Research on Corporate Sustainability (ARCS) and on the Executive Committee of The Case Centre. He was previously on the Scientific Committee of social responsibility rating agency, Vigeo-Eiris (now part of Moody’s ESG).
