March 2023 - Advancing Business Sustainability

Launch of the Advancing Business Sustainability Report
On 21 March 2023 we gathered for the exclusive launch event at The Grove to discuss the accelerated adoption of sustainable business practices with a keynote address from the Hon. Meaghan Scanlon MP, Minster for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs.
The discussion focused on the global increasing importance of sustainability. Governments are committing to net zero targets and other environmental goals, consumers are demanding sustainable products, and larger corporations are seeking ‘green’ supply chains. Getting ahead in implementing sustainable practices can set businesses apart from their competition, boost their efficiency, improve their ability to withstand challenges, and benefit their community and the environment.
