Challenge for Long-term Sustainability
The Sustainability Challenge is a revolutionary new training and auditing tool that will assist organisations and communities in the shift to long-term sustainability, says Anne Maree Huxley, CEO of Models of Success and Sustainability (MOSS), who will be in Brisbane for the launch on Thursday 5 November.
It will prepare managers, employees and stakeholders through a process of introspection to transition their organisation from a culture of short term take, make and waste to one of long term sustainability – a survival imperative for organisations operating in a world of increasingly scarce resources.
Leveraging the successful Challenge Methodology, the Sustainability Challenge will develop essential understanding and capability around complex issues such as emissions reduction, sustainable supply chains and social responsibility whilst auditing one’s cultural attitudes towards sustainability.

Sustainability Challenge events have already been help in Melbourne and Sydney. After Brisbane (5 November), Perth will feature on 25 November. Plans are in hand for further events in Canberra, Hobart and Adelaide
Moss announces Winning Trust and Credibility Workshop Series:
Never has the demand for responsible business been so great with confidence in the corporate world now at an all-time low. If ever there was a convincing business case for corporate social responsibility, the time is right now as companies scramble to win trust from increasingly sceptical and doubtful stakeholders.
Credibility is crucial to success in an era where business in under such intense scrutiny. The building of solid stakeholder relationships is a critical component of every company’s license to operate.
Australia and the world is asking profound questions about the fundamental values and ethics of commerce. Companies are under mounting pressure to prove their reliability on everything from environmental responsibility and social and social accountability, as well as their financial integrity.
Tackling these urgent issues, two of the world’s pre-eminent experts in corporate social responsibility are staging a series of one-day workshops across Australia in a bid to help companies develop credible strategies to address escalating stakeholder expectations.
Led by international CSR and sustainability specialists Ian Heath and Jonathan Wootliff, these two former civil society leaders who now advise major multinational corporations in Asia, Europe and the USA, are coming to Australia for the 2009 Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Leadership Workshop series.

Join us in Copenhagen
The countdown is on and preparations are well underway for COP 15 at the UNFCCC in Copenhagen.
MOSS has secured a limited number of tickets for Australian Business representatives interested in attending the UNFCCC in Copenhagen. Be part of the debate. Hear first hand what the world leaders, business community and academia have to say on topics such as mitigation, technology and carbon trading at the UNFCCC.
If you would like to join MOSS in Copenhagen, our delegation will attend from 14th – 18th December. We recommend flying out of Australia Saturday 12th December with a day to rest, register (you will be photographed for a security name tag) and receive a briefing before 5 gruelling days of days and nights of meetings and activities. The event runs from the 7th – 18th December and you can attend for the full duration, however it is a heavy schedule and 5 days is usually sufficient to make the most of your registration.
Without a doubt it’s networking heaven for anyone in the sustainability sector. In Bali we had access to the most up to date thought leadership and insight from Economists such as Lord Stern, Environmental activists such Al Gore, leading climate scientists from the IPCC and city Mayors such as Michael Bloomberg Lord Mayor of New York, as part of the C40 initiative discussions.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has confirmed his attendance and will be encouraging other world leaders to also attend. President Obama has also indicated he will attend. The side events and exhibitions will be extensive covering the latest technology and know how.
