“The truly sustainable corporation will integrate into its day-to-day operations a range of environmental, social and economic considerations - each considered not just in isolation, but also as part of an overall operating philosophy.”

Green Capital is Australia’s leading corporate sustainability program. We provide a forum for dialogue between corporate, government & community sectors to engage on corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues through events, workshops and campaigns.

Principles for CSR - defining the principles of sustainability.

What we do

• The Debate Series raise awareness of sustainability issues and identify barriers and solutions.

• Issue-specific position papers and publications accompany the debates, to give you a better understanding of the issues, and how they impact an organisation.

• Workshops delve deeper into a particular sustainability issue. These are aimed at developing practical outcomes for change.

• Training courses tailored to your business requirements. Participants leave the course with the tools they need to encourage a culture of sustainability in their organisation.

• Knowledge Sharing allows you to take advantage of our research on sustainability issues. Access past presentations, white papers and discussion papers.
