The Anti-ESG Backlash in Action: Why the SB13 Case Matters for Australian Business

BCSDA’s next LANDSCAPE session brings together two perspectives business leaders increasingly need side by side: the external shocks reshaping risk, and the internal disciplines needed to respond credibly.

This session opens with a short BCSDA framing on Corporate Performance & Accountability, drawing on the latest signals from ESG Snapshot, before moving to two expert briefings.

We will hear from Joel Johannes Gold of the London School of Economics on Nature Value at Risk and how nature shocks can transmit into company revenues. We will also hear from David Kennedy, Senior Director at the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), on what SBTi’s milestone year signals for implementation quality, target credibility and business action in 2026.

Why attend

- Understand the policy and reporting signals shaping 2026
