About this event

Over the last 3-year period we’ve seen a significant shift in values – back to the grass roots of what really matters!  This has influenced Government and private sector commitments to heightened focus on environmental outcomes and performance and a desire to realise deepened and richer organisational connection with employees.

 

The CoreNet Global Australia Chapter Government Forum will investigate the shifts and influence on Corporate Real Estate.  

 

Join us for inspiring insight and conversation exploring transition towards:

  • Achieving APS Net Zero 2030 
  • Building resilience
  • Social and Governance initiatives in Real Estate
  • ESG and shifting reinforcement towards (S) social and (G) governance.

 

These emerging shifts will be addressed by a dynamic group of industry leaders who will share their experiences, research, and insights at this year's Government Forum.

Session 1:  Are you ready for Net Zero?

 

APS Net Zero 2030 is the Government’s Policy for the Australian Public Service (APS) to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2030, and transparently report on its emissions from mid-2023 onwards.   The policy is now being finalised so it’s consistent with Australia’s international commitments and will contribute to achievement of Australia’s Paris Agreement targets.

 

However, what does this really mean for Government?  How can the targets within this policy be achieved?  What could all Government entities be doing now to prepare?  What impacts will this have operationally?  And ultimately, how do we think Net Zero can be achieved?

 

These questions and more will be discussed and addressed by Emma Wright, Venita’s Sustainability Director.

Great Places to Work – Employee Value Proposition

 

Over the last 3 year period we have seen significant change in the world of work and in employer / employee connection.  Most public and private sector organisations are striving to create deepened alignment with employees and retain and attract talent.  Coupled with this we are in a tightening economy where the cost of running a business is in tension with employees seeking greater benefits or as we are hearing the year of the rise! So lets talk about what are the patterns what’s shifted and how are organisations responding.
