Sustainability and the Environment, presented by ANZ

Thought Leadership – presented by ANZ and AustCham

Sustainability is a key area of focus for our community, and for companies in Australia and Singapore.  A world-first Green Economy Agreement between Singapore and Australia is currently under negotiation and the Chamber, through our Environment Sustainability Industry Group, has made a formal submission and given ongoing feedback through the process. You can read the Green Economy Agreement here.

On this page, we provide you with up-to-date articles covering a range of ‘Environmental, Social, and Governance’ topics from our patron sponsor ANZ, other AustCham member companies, and Australian companies sharing insights from their sustainable business practices. If there’s anything else you would like to see on this page, please reach us here.
