Our Plans are emerging…

Our goal is to bring together a group of leaders in a variety of different fields and help achieve MORE nature and sustainability outcomes as part of hosting the Olympics.

What we are able to achieve depends entirely on what you want to do, and how you want to help.

We’re starting out with roundtables, visioning, and making introductions for people across unexpected boundaries.

Here’s a look at the early months of 2025

On Friday 28 February we are convening #1 nature positive planning session hosted by Alison Knoblach at Telstra’s corporate office in Brisbane, or on-line if you can’t get to Brisbane. Kimberley Swords will facilitate a conversation to identify a long list of nature and conservation priorities that can be curated and packaged for private sector investment. Investment could be in the form of stacked carbon or other credits with biodiversity values, or as parts of TNFD commitments.

On Wednesday 19 March Sophie Underwood, Managing Partner McKinsey & Company, Brisbane & Georgine Roodenrys, Partner Deloitte will lead a workshop to align on our vision, how good we can be, and our ways of working.

Also in the first half of the year Ashleigh Morris, CEO & Co-Founder of Coreo, and member of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games Legacy Committe will help explore ‘how good we could be’ in creating circular ecosystems for the clothing and footwear that are such an iconic and integral part of the experience.

We also have energy behind some ideas including:

  • Helping food producers be ready for sustainable procurement, and showcasing indigenous foodstuffs

  • Supply chain activation in pursuit of net zero, to support SMEs be ready for future procurement

  • Connection with key sportspeople in Queensland teams who have passion and energy for sustainability

  • The possibility of ‘setting the bar’ for tropical climate resilient design & liveable cities

  • Creating the ‘pull’ for circular clothing and textiles, for the volunteers, the fans, and hopefully also the athletes

    We would love your help, and have included introductory links to some of our key members.
