He has published over 40 papers in peer-review journals with more than 900 citations (Google Scholar; h-index: 18 & i10-index: 21) and over the years he has worked in various research projects focusing on diverse perspectives of organizational sustainability, circular economy, nonfinancial accounting and reporting as well as organizational responsibility issues, such as the development and implementation of dynamic corporate sustainability strategies, the analysis and evaluation of business-specific climate, resource and biodiversity risks and opportunities, the composite measurement of sustainability performance of business entities, organizational accounting and reporting practices as well as third-party verification of business sustainability performance metrics and relevant accountability practices.
Over the past few years Dr Skouloudis has amassed a level of expertise on various scientific tools and techniques employed in the fields of environmental and social management in Greek enterprises, e.g. sustainability balanced scorecard, benchmarking techniques, composite indicators development, system dynamics, SWOT analysis and normative environmental accounting techniques. In this respect, he is currently placing emphasis on research perspectives pertaining to sustainability in higher education and the knowledge-transfer of the concept of strong sustainability to key stakeholders wishing to influence the impact of future actions and policies of business entities.
