Our ESG Circle

Our ESG Circle offers our members an exclusive platform to engage with the multi-layered world of ESG considerations. 

In today's changing corporate landscape, ESG factors play a central role in shaping corporate strategies, investor decisions and societal impact. From climate change and community engagement to ethical corporate governance and stakeholder accountability, the ESG framework encompasses a wide range of issues that are increasingly important to corporate sustainability and responsibility.

 Join us to explore the complexities of ESG integration, share insights and foster collaboration among like-minded professionals. Our Circle provides a supportive environment where members can share ideas, address challenges and cultivate best practices to drive sustainable business initiatives. Adhering to the confidentiality principles of the Chatham House Rules, members can engage in open discussions and collective learning to drive positive change in their organisations and beyond.

 

About The Event

Engaging with First Nations businesses presents a powerful opportunity to drive inclusive economic growth and build stronger, more resilient communities across Australia.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander enterprises bring unique cultural knowledge, sustainable practices, and deep connections to Country that can add meaningful value to projects, fostering long-term social impact.

In collaboration with the Kinaway Chamber of Commerce, The Fair Co. will share practical insights on engaging with First Nations businesses. These partnerships not only enhance project outcomes but also align with corporate social responsibility goals and government procurement policies, offering both ethical and strategic advantages.

They help meet specific procurement and contract targets, strengthen community relationships, and support reconciliation efforts—fostering a supportive environment where ideas can thrive and resources are shared.

Join us to hear about success stories and learn how to connect with Indigenous suppliers!

 

 Why It Matters:

✅ Access innovative, locally grounded expertise

✅ Aligns with State and Federal government procurement and reconciliation goals

✅ Build a legacy of self-determination, shared prosperity, respect, and understanding

 

Connect with Indigenous suppliers. Champion inclusive procurement. Be part of the change.
