As well as researching sustainability in traditional sectors such as food, mining and automotive, BRASS is researching into CSR and sustainability in one of the newest industries - nanotechnology. BRASS has played a leading role in assessing whether current environmental and health and safety regulation works appropriate with nanotech, and in researching how new regulations, CSR strategies, information resources and industry standards can be developed to ensure a safe and sustainable nanotech industry.
