The Association for Sustainability in Business goal provides a platform for industry and academic thought leaders to share best sustainability knowledge. It is committed to supporting the sustainable business practices of their members. The Association for Sustainability in Business is creating a space for industry associations to work together on challenging sustainability issues.
Our membership is drawn from a wide discipline of sustainability managers, planning and design professionals, infrastructure, natural resources, transport, mining, government, academics, environmental management, town planning, chemistry, engineering, developers, owners and operators of private and public infrastructure of a built and natural form.
The Association has developed an extensive social media platform along with our membership and subscriber lists.
If you would like to share relevant information with over 53 000 members of our community, you can submit an article for our blog which will be actively promoted. Follow the link to find out how to submit articles for publication.
The Association provides the membership with a library of previous years' conference podcasts. A vast array of information and discussion is available. Current year conference delegates are provided additional access to their specific conference podcasts with a link, username and password emailed proceeding the conference.
The Association for Sustainability in Business - our ambition is to develop a vision of designing and planning Urban, Regional and Remote Australia while being aware of one planet living, one world resources and ongoing community and business sustainability.
Through on-going discussion and knowledge sharing we hope to contribute to a vision of how cities and communities operate when considering issues such as environment, governance, health, liveabilty, design, resource and food security. We will also examine the role business can play in the "People, Planet, Profit" paradigm.
We promote continuing professional development through conferences and seminars, the publication of Proceedings and Journals, and the ongoing development of an on-line podcast resource. The Associaton is also active on all social media platforms.
Membership of The Association does not attract fees or charges and presently consists of the following communities;
