Simon Meert

Currently engaged in my 3rd PhD year, my research focuses on the relationship between the social economy field and sustainability reporting. In the context of my PhD, I use the SDGs as research setting to investigate this relationship. Besides, I am also working on a (digital and participatory) sustainability management tool specifically dedicated to SMEs, called "SDG Impulse". We are currently launching the pilot test in Belgium, with enterprises from the social economy and private sector. Finally, I am also largely interested in the degrowth paradigm, and in particular the role of social economy organizations might play in it.
