The Australian Financial Review ESG (Environment Social Governance) Summit was hosted at the Hilton, Sydney, on June 15.
The transition is not linear
The recent energy crisis on the east coast of Australia is potentially a preview of some of the bumps in the road that lay ahead for decarbonisation. Fiona Wild, Vice President, Sustainability and Climate Change at BHP, explained that the “transition is not linear”. Some years, progress may be incredibly rapid, whereas others, it may slow down or even decline. What matters is that the long-term trajectory is the required increase in renewables in line with Australia’s emission reduction targets and net zero by 2050.

Everyone is encouraged to ask for help if ever needed. There should be no shame or guilt in asking for help. The R U OK? skills and caring for each other are learned skills that you can make a part of your everyday. Don’t wait until someone’s really struggling or in a crisis. Ask R U OK? Your conversation could change a life.
If you think you’ve been hearing more about self-care now, you’re right. One indicator: According to Google Trends, the number of searches for “self-care” has more than doubled since 2018 and tracks the peaks and troughs of COVID19. But self-care shouldn’t just be something we reach for in a crisis, it should be part of our everyday lives especially at work.
