The National Sustainability in Business Conference will be held in Brisbane from the 23-24 March 2017.
Mr Mark Thomson, Director at Eco Effective Solutions joins us next month to discuss ‘Green Buildings/Environments … Where to From Here?’
Mr Mark Thomson
Businesses have no shortage of capital and operational cost expenditure demands during their typical financial year periods. Justifying dollars for sustainability initiatives and green buildings or fitouts, always attracts competition from other essential business considerations. There exist a series of actions that business must understand and implement in Sustainability. Addressing current business governance expectations is a good start, however in a world of shorter employments contracts and a mobile workforce, physical environments and access to technology in business, can be an everyday challenge.
The following points are proposed to be reviewed and elaborated:
-First Things First –is your strategy and approach right?
-Walking the sustainable talk – can you, your partners and your staff, sing of the same sustainable song sheet?
-Capturing the SDG’s in your business- the reasons to look at the big picture.
-The role of buildings and environments in business culture – your work environment and systems require continuous improvement.
-Disruption challenges – I didn’t see that coming … and it hurt!
-A plan for the next 12 months – a practical guide to progress sustainability in your business.
-Insights, experience and possible solutions will be offered which may support growth, innovation and sustained interest in your business.
The 2017 National Sustainability in Business Conference will bring together leading academics, thought leaders, opinion makers and industry experts to deliberate and discuss sustainability issues confronting Australia.
