Sustainable Business Australia's ad hoc working groups undertake research and analysis on specific issues related to industry and sustainability. This forms the basis of much of our advice to Federal and State Governments.
SBA members benefit from extending their knowledge and from peer reference and networking opportunities at SBA forums and conferences with the working groups.
SBA's National Advisory Group includes eminent business people, ecologists, scientists, and financiers. They advise on a wide range of major international issues relating to the environment, economics, investment, security, infrastructure and the built environment, health, land management and food production, city planning and development including transportation and value chains. The expertise and influence of these leaders has helped to position SBA at the forefront of national debate and policy advocacy.
