Social performance is about the real impact your business has on people — through your employees, suppliers, customers, and community. Businesses that go beyond financial outcomes to create measurable social value are already seeing the rewards: stronger investor confidence, greater employee attraction, and a distinct edge in an increasingly values-conscious market.

But knowing what activities are right for your business and building a compelling case to take to your leadership isn't easy. It takes a clear framework, practical evidence, and the right conversations.

That's exactly what this session is designed to give you.

What we'll cover:

  • Global frameworks, local impact. Learn how international ESG standards and social value frameworks are beginning to shape obligations and opportunities for Australian businesses.
  • Building your internal business case. Explore what evidence, language, and framing will resonate with your leadership and how to position social performance as a strategic investment, not a cost.
  • Live from the field: The Acciona x Navaroo story. Hear directly from the 2025 National Social Procurement Impact Partnership Award winners on what they did, why it worked, and what every business can learn from it.

Your speakers:

  1. Rebecca Green, Head of Transformation and Advocacy at Social Traders
  2. Nick Tasiopoulos, Director at Navaroo
  3. Nancy Zele, Industry Capability and Inclusion Advisor at Acciona/ Southern Program Alliance

Registration is essential and will close at 10am the day prior unless booked out.
