Join us for a long lunch on the first day of summer at glorious Darling Harbour to celebrate a decade of achievement in corporate responsibility and responsible investment at the 10th annual Australian Sustainability Awards.

Each year these awards recognise the best companies, institutions and individuals who integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) behaviour into Australia’s corporate and investment culture.

Sure, profound challenges lie ahead as we emerge from a global recession while also facing global warming and the social pressures of economic development.

Yet these awards are about recognition, about re-assurance and about proving that the business case for sustainability is realistic and, well, a good thing!

Many Ethical Investor readers will have attended the awards at some point since 2001. So for this our 10th anniversary we are raising the bar with:

• a more transparent nomination and judging process
• broader criteria to encompass companies that report their sustainability performance, whether or not they are listed on the ASX
• two 10-year achievement awards – Sustainable Company of the Decade and Sustainability Champion of the Decade, and
• a gorgeous harbour-view venue with a sustainable menu

Together with our well-established luncheon format that includes an informative process of explaining key achievements, selective video content and a positive and inspiring guest speaker.

So, if your work involves corporate responsibility, green business, sustainability consulting, corporate-community support, ethical investing - or indeed anything to do with the ESG space – this is the end-of-year awards celebration for your tribe.

Tickets go on sale in October. Meantime pencil us in now for lunch on December 1!
