The Next Frontier of ESG: Green Tech in Action [Virtual]
How Green Technologies are powering real, measurable ESG outcomes
About this event
How are Green Technologies translating ESG ambition into measurable outcomes across Australian organisations?
As expectations around Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance continue to rise, organisations are under increasing pressure to move beyond intent and demonstrate real, evidence-based impact. Green Technologies are emerging as critical enablers in this shift — supporting implementation, measurement and reporting across the ESG spectrum.
This ACS Victoria event explores how Green Technologies are being applied in practice to deliver measurable ESG outcomes within Australian organisations. It will highlight the importance of expanding industry and government engagement to build national impact, strengthening collaboration between practitioners and researchers, and improving measurement and reporting frameworks to clearly demonstrate value and outcomes.
Drawing on practical examples and sector perspectives, the session will examine how Green Technology is contributing to environmental performance, social outcomes and governance maturity, while also informing the future direction of the ACS Victoria ESG Special Interest Group.
What you’ll gain:
🌱 Practical examples of Green Technologies delivering measurable ESG outcomes
🌱 Insights from industry, research and policy perspectives
🌱 An opportunity to contribute to future priorities through a short audience poll
See you online!
