"Spent the last two days in Melbourne at Cambridge - Earth on Board seminar on sustainability for non executive directors. There was a real sense of urgency and excitement about the challenges and much very useful material on action and reporting by boards.
Very valuable.”
Rob Campbell, Chair, SkyCity Entertainment Group.
"A powerful and vigorous call to action! Practical, inspiring and challenging. A wonderful opportunity to develop new thinking and approaches to evaluate leadership and contribution to issues. Of the utmost importance to all of us."
Board Director, international institutional investment managers.
"I have a much better perspective of the sustainability issues facing the Board after attending the course."
Director, Tuan Sing Holdings Ltd
"My personal objective was to bridge the gap between
bottom up coalface initiatives and reporting requirements around sustainability, and top down director fiduciary duties.
The course provided excellent breadth of perspective to bring these two elements together"
Non-Executive Director Participant, Australia 2023
"The programme raised awareness of the unknown, confirmed what we are getting right and gave an opportunity to consider alternative."
