FutureNet NSW: Progress by Debate - Who Drives ESG?
Sustainability, social responsibility and strong governance are no longer optional considerations. They are fundamental to how our industry plans, delivers and measures long-term success.
Join FutureNet NSW for “Progress by Debate: Who Drives ESG?”, an engaging evening of discussion exploring one of the built environment sector’s most pressing questions:
“Who has more responsibility to drive progress toward ESG goals – the private industry or the public sector?”
Featuring industry leaders Alison Scotland, CEO of the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC), and Nathan Baker, Principal Environmental Consultant leading environmental assessments and approvals for major renewable energy projects across NSW, this structured debate will examine the role each sector plays in shaping a more sustainable future.
Alison and Nathan will be joined by four emerging professionals from across the built environment industry, bringing fresh perspectives and helping to challenge conventional thinking on where responsibility for ESG leadership truly lies.
Following the debate, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an interactive audience Q&A, and an opportunity to discuss the winners, new ideas and the role of young people.
