"Conferences such as this play an important role in encouraging stakeholders to discuss and debate the often complex issues raised by the deceptively simple three letters – C-S-R.

While terms like “corporate social responsibility” and “responsible investment” may sound altruistic, they all boil down to sustainable business practices. The kind of business practices Australia needs right now."

Senator the Hon Nick Sherry, Minister for Superannuation and Corporate Law
Closing Keynote Address to Australian Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility, 3rd Annual Conference


"The conference provided an excellent range of high quality speakers and topics which were both informative and thought provoking. It was also a great opportunity to meet industry and other government CSR practitioners."

Jill Grant, Manager, Sustainability Policy, Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism


"Congratulations on a most informative and intellectually-stimulating conference. It is obvious ACCSR worked very hard to deliver a great range of speakers. It was also good to network with delegates from across the country."

Betty Kotevski, Research Manager, Responsible Investment Consulting


"Finally we are moving beyond 'blue sky' optimism to 'down-to-earth' integration of sustainability principles into core organisational practices. Coming to this conference feels like being on board the 'sustainability train'. I am enjoying this journey's next stages."

Liz Sidiropoulos, Lecturer, Central Queensland University Melbourne
