## In Australia, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians, and pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities’ strength and resilience in the face of colonisation. We honour their continuing connection to land, water, and skies, and recognise that for generations, they have lived the values we work to share: inclusivity, sustainability, and regeneration.

## ESG: What on earth is it?

**ESG: What on earth is it?**

If you've been wondering what on earth ESG is all about, this is the perfect opportunity for you to get your questions answered.   
Come join us for an exciting in-person event where we explore the evolving world of ESG and how it’s reshaping the roles and responsibilities of governing leaders.

The embodiment and practice of ESG principles has become an integral requirement for contemporary leaders of contemporary governance.   
They are risks, trends and issues that have always existed, but are now recognised as the drivers of wellbeing, social justice, belonging and sustainability.

Come along to listen to an incredible Panel, voices of lived experience, professional practice or both, and gain insight on how we can also advocate for change,   
be proactive allies and for actionable governance to be the goal (and outcome), not just awareness.

And if you can't attend one of the live events, purchase your preferred Panel Recording,  
which will be distributed within the fortnight of the event transcribed and professionally produced.

*Valhalla Brewhall is accessible for wheelchairs, prams and mobility aids, and transport assistance is available on request.*  
*If you have any access or support needs to participate fully, please let us know when you RSVP.*
