Valérie Swaen

I am a Professor of Marketing and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the Louvain School of Management (Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium) and at IESEG School of Management (France).From 2012 until December 2016, I was the deputee director of the CCMS (Inter-University Center of Excellence on Consumers and Marketing Strategy). I'm currently the president of the Louvain Research Institute in Management & Organizations (LouRIM) and the head of the LOUVAIN CSR NETWORK of the Louvain School of Management (www.uclouvain.be/csr-network). I constantly hold different Chairs in CSR (Belgacom, GDF SUEZ and the chair for the Philippe de Woot Award). I studied corporate social responsibility from different fields of management (marketing, organizational behavior, strategy, leadership, and accounting), but my main research interest concerns stakeholders’ reactions to CSR communication. I have published academic papers in international journals such as Marketing Letters, Journal of Business Ethics, International Journal of Management Reviews, and Management Accounting Research, among others. I have also contributed to the edition of various special issues of international journals on the topic of CSR.
