The Future of Good Business

The world is facing rising social inequalities and environmental challenges. As a country, there are growing disparities that threaten the wellbeing of many Australians.   

According to Transforming Australia: SDG Progress Report by Monash University:  

• 3.3 million Australians or 12.7% are living below the poverty line placing us worse than the OECD average 12.1%. 

• Close to 13% of Australians experience food insecurity, compared to only 8.5% in Europe and North America. 

• Australia is falling behind our peers when it comes to the circular economy and efficient resource use.  

Organisations have the power to help shape a better future.  

Although some are already using business as a force for good, we need more of it faster – to drive meaningful change.  

Join Tara Anderson, CEO Social Traders as she shares valuable insights on how organisations can address social issues and deliver social value in more ways throughout their value chain.  

While the mandatory Sustainability Reporting provides guidelines on climate-related disclosures required (the "E" in ESG), articulating and measuring the "Social" in ESG is still a challenge. And it’s only a matter of time before mandatory reporting will be required for social impact. 

Discover some ways to quantify and report on social performance, to help you stay ahead of regulatory compliance and risk management. Learn how social enterprises are continuing to work with various organisations across Australia to deliver social impact at scale. 

Tara will also be joined by a guest speaker from corporate Australia, discussing some of their social initiatives, key learnings and measurable outcomes. 

Over the next 12 months, according to the 2025 Executive CSR Report, 76% of leaders expect their organisation’s investment in social impact initiatives to rise. This event is designed to help you stay ahead of this trend. Find out some of our new services that could help you with your efforts.
