21.01.2022 Future Business Council Members save up to $300 on Governance Institute National Conference 2019! A key recommendation of the The Future Business Councils Next Boom Report 2018 was for business to treat climate related risks as a fiduciary duty. Australian company directors must be cognisant of the climate- related risks posed to their business, and must treat the management and mitigation of these risks as one of their fiduciary duties. We look forward to the dedicated ses...sion on climate risk at the upcoming Governance Institute National Conference 2019 that will consider the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and how global reporting bodies are working to align thinking, and integration, between financial and non-financial reporting. 2 to 3 September Sydney Come together with business leaders across Australia for the latest national and global insights at National Conference 2019. Challenge your thinking on the critical issues that will influence governance and risk management best practice in the coming years. The stellar speaker panel includes: - Alison Watkins, Group Managing Director, Coca Cola Amatil - Andrew Stevens, Chairman, Innovation & Science Australia & Non-executive Director, Stockland Group Limited - Anna Bligh, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Banking Association - Diane Smith-Gander, Non-executive Director, Wesfarmers and AGL. - Ewen Crouch, Non-executive Director, Westpac & BlueScope Steel, Chairman, Corporate Travel Management - Jane Halton AO PSM, Non-executive Director, ANZ Banking Group & Clayton Utz - Taj Pabari, Chief Executive Officer, Fiftysix Creations - Sir Winfried Bischoff, Chairman, JP Morgan Securities plc and Chairman, Financial Reporting Council UK FBC members can save $300 on registration - please email us at: [email protected]

There is an urgent need for governments to re-commit to the implementation of these goals. Read the 2019 Sustainable Development Report: https://www.sdgindex.org//sustainable-development-report-/
