Sustainable Business - What's in it for you?
The Gold Coast Sustainability Forum was held on October 19 at the Prana Centre in Nerang. Over 70 local business owners and sustainability professionals attended to enjoy presentations from industry experts on topics including:
- What is sustainability?
- What are the benefits of operating sustainably?
- How will the Carbon Tax affect my business?
- What strategies can I implement to prepare for a low carbon future?
- Change is hard, how do I make green change work in my company?
There were representatives from many arenas - private business, Gold Coast City Council, universities, not for profit organisations.

Tina Csallo, FSG Australia
"I have been involved with events for 11 years and would have to say this would be one of the most well put together and carefully thought out event I have been to. A great collection of experts talking about the same message however they were from different perspectives which gave more weight to the value of GreenBizCheck..."
Vicki Sparks, ConnectWorking
"Every speaker managed to cram so much into their allocated time in such a smart and snappy way. Topics normally thought of as complex became clearer and I now understand the future of carbon tax in Australia! Organisations like GreenBizCheck are needed to help businesses implement systems that make sustainable actions a daily habit. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening."
Jackie Caruso, Bond University
