ANZCCJ

Sustainability Committee

Why?

The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee’s purpose is to promote sustainable investment, trade, business and collaboration between Australia, Japan and New Zealand. Sustainability initiatives and practices are crucial for business longevity and better outcomes for our economy, environment, investors, customers and society. Sustainability is relevant to all industries – economically and also for the positive impact it has on society.

How?

Promote awareness, share experiences, support advocacy and provide opportunities to build connections and collaborate to support sustainability strategies across large corporates, SME businesses, start-ups, academia and government.

We understand that sustainability is a journey and that everyone is at a different stage, so we want to ensure that whatever size of company, whatever industry, our events and programs help you to take your next step.
