Ioannidis’ “Top 2% of Scientists” project.  

The “Top 2% of Scientists” project evaluates the global impact of researchers by analyzing the citations to their academic papers. Dr. Sroufe's recognition spans multiple disciplines and covers his contributions to integrating sustainability into business practices and fostering high-performance environmental solutions. Dr. Sroufe’s inclusion highlights the relevance of his research not only to the academic community but also to industry leaders and policymakers seeking sustainable solutions for a changing world. 

“My work has always aimed to bridge the gap between theory and practice while demonstrating how sustainability can be seamlessly integrated into business management, social impact, and environmental stewardship. It’s an honor to be recognized among such a distinguished group of scholars, and this recognition would not be possible without the incredible support from Chatham and my colleagues,” said Dr. Sroufe.
