Sustainability Forum 2024
26 November 2024 | Sydney & Online
Sustainability is central to organisational vision, strategy and decision-making.
The regulatory expectations for ESG standards, reporting and disclosure continue to evolve and national and international standards are now imminent.
Join us for the Sustainability Forum as leaders from across sectors and industries share their expertise and experience on their ESG journey and the advantages for embedding best practice.
Our panel of speakers will examine the strategies and frameworks for ESG and how effective communication, public disclosure and reporting have become critical and offer a competitive edge.
How can you create and canvas effective partnerships, resources and internal and external stakeholders, to develop the knowledge base? How do you gather intelligence and meaningful data to deliver sound sustainability strategy and disclose accurate reports.
