| A period of transformation and growth |
|
The pressure for businesses to do more than just make money is indeed increasing and this year's Shared Value Awards demonstrated a genuine desire from the corporate sector to transform.
My congratulations again to the winners and highly commended all of whom demonstrated commitment to shared value as a core business strategy.
Above all, the Awards highlighted the growth of the shared value movement both within organisations and across industries. Further to this, I am pleased to announce our new member from the built environment sector, Arup.
Lastly, I am delighted to welcome Jan Stewart to the SVP team, who has taken on the role of Executive Officer. Jan who comes to us from Hub Australia is an innovator in her own right and will bring a wealth of knowledge and wisdom as we continue to support the growing shared value community. You can reach out to Jan at jstewart@sharedvalue.org.au
