🌏 SXSW Sydney Highlights & Key Insights for Businesses Tackling Sustainability
Last month one of our team members, Eva Smith-Perry, had the opportunity to attend SXSW Sydney, here are a few standout insights:
🔍 Intentional Frameworks Lead to Lasting Impact
Achieving organisation-wide goals—whether related to climate or beyond—necessitates the creation of support frameworks early. Businesses that prioritise proactive planning, instead of paying catch up down the road, are more successful in critical areas like sustainability reporting, climate preparedness, and fostering inclusive workspaces.
🤝 Collaboration is Critical, and It Doesn’t Always Have to Be Formal
Partnerships remain crucial in evolving fields like sustainability, but they don’t always need to be large, formalised initiatives. Sometimes, smaller, more informal collaborations or simply working in parallel toward common goals can deliver just as impactful of a result.
🧩 Substance Over Show: Basics Come First
There’s a temptation to jump toward flashy technologies and marketing strategies when it comes to emissions goals. However, companies should first identify low-lift high-impact solutions to make meaningful progress without getting sidetracked by what looks most innovative or marketable.
🌾 Prioritising Nature and Biodiversity
While nature and biodiversity were recognised at SXSW, the challenge lies in cutting through the noise to identify and prioritise the strategies that will drive real, lasting impact.
