Shannon Lloyd is an associate professor in the John Molson School of Business and a member of the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre at Concordia University. She began her career in operations and product development, and then transitioned to an applied research and consulting role. During this time, she developed methods for assessing the life cycle environmental performance of products, processes, and organizations. Dr. Lloyd’s research focuses on:
-
Studying the (mis)alignment of corporate environmental performance with collective environmental goals, such as the Paris Agreement temperature goal
-
Assessing the potential environmental impact of emerging technologies and practices, with a particular focus on sustainable aviation
-
Integrating the work environment(worker health and safety) into environmental life cycle assessment
- Ph.D. in Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University
- M.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University
- B.S. in General Engineering (Systems Engineering and Design), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Areas of Expertise
- Life Cycle Assessment
- Greenhouse Gas Accounting
- Supply Chain Sustainability
- Corporate Sustainability
- Worker Health & Safety
