Impact and Influence of Global ESG Policy on Australian and New Zealand Farmers.
The ANZCCJ Food Agriculture and Hospitality Committee invites members and friends to join us for a presentation by and discussion with distinguished 2024 Nuffield Scholar, Catherine Marriott.
Catherine has conducted an insightful research project on the influence of Global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy on Australian farmers. Her report delves into the challenges and opportunities that ESG policies present to the agricultural sector in Australia. Catherine`s research took her to Europe, Asia (including Japan and Korea) and the USA where she spoke to industry leaders and governments. While the report was focused on Australia the impacts will be similar on farmers in New Zealand.
Key Highlights of the Report:
- Increased Awareness and Adoption: Catherine's research highlights the growing awareness among Australian farmers about the importance of ESG policies and the steps they are taking to adopt sustainable practices.
- Challenges in Implementation: The report identifies significant challenges in implementing ESG policies, including financial constraints, resource limitations, and the need for more education and support.
- Positive Impact on Market Access: Farmers who have embraced ESG policies have experienced improved market access, as consumers and businesses increasingly prioritize products that meet ESG standards.
- Need for Policy Support: Catherine emphasizes the necessity for stronger policy support from the government to aid farmers in transitioning to sustainable practices, including financial incentives and educational programs.
- Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: The report underscores the importance of collaboration between farmers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to share knowledge and best practices for overcoming ESG implementation challenges.
Catherine is a great storyteller, and her presentation promises to be as entertaining as it is insightful. Guest are welcome to ask questions throughout and share their experiences on ESG’s with the group.

Would you like to hear some tips from an entrepreneur who has succeeded in starting a business in Tokyo?
The Tokyo One-Stop Business Establishment Center (TOSBEC) supports many foreign entrepreneurs every year. In this event co-hosted with ANZCCJ, we will be joined by a business owner who recently established their own company in Tokyo with TOSBEC's support, covering their top tips and personal experiences regarding this process.
This seminar is recommended for:
・Any foreign entrepreneurs wishing to start a successful business in Japan
・Any foreign entrepreneurs wanting to learn more about the practical assistance the Tokyo Metropolitan Government can provide in establishing a company.
Date: Tuesday, August 9 2022
Time: 12:00 - 13:00 JST
Speaker:
Daniel Madaras / CEO in Kamiji Inc.
Daniel started working at Tokyu hotels as a translator in Shizuoka. After moving to Tokyo, he started acting and modelling while teaching English part-time. Being a big fan of the Japanese language, especially the strange and unique writing system, he and his co-founder started developing a Kanji learning game app called ‘Kamiji’. As they were in the fund-raising phase and wanted to be taken seriously, he felt the need to establish a company around the project. This is when they received service from TOSBEC and were able to establish a K.K. in Japan.
※Number of participants in this seminar is limited to 50. Applications will close once the limit is reached
※The seminar will be held online.
