The National Sustainability in Business Conference will be held in Brisbane from the 23-24 March 2017.
Mr Stan Krpan, CEO of Sustainability Victoria joins us at the conference and will discuss ‘TAKE2: Victoria’s Climate Change Pledge Program and the Role of Collective Business Action to Reach a Net Zero Emissions Future’.
TAKE2 is Victoria’s collective climate change action to help Victoria reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It’s the first state government-led program in Australia and one of the most comprehensive pledge programs of its kind in the world. It is a key plank in preparing Victoria to implement the Victorian Government’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
