This month, Turning Green in conjunction with the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, the Green Building Council of Australia, The Australian Green Infrastructure Council and Environmental Jobs Network would like to invite you to participate in the first Sustainability Salary Survey in Australia: To take part in the survey, click here and please pass on to as many appropriate colleagues and/or contacts as possible.
The research findings will be launched at the Annual Sustainability Conference on Monday 8 August 2011. As a result of taking part in the survey, you will receive a summary report and a discount on the full report.
Response rates will be monitored daily and the survey will be open from Wednesday 6 April to Thursday 30 June 2011.
Other highlights in this edition include: best practice recruitment process - what does it really mean for your business to hire a 'sustainability' professional and what are the key competencies that you should be focusing on? We take a look at the Federal government’s Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) and the opportunities and possible pitfalls inherent in it; we look at the powerful vehicle that is Public Private Partnerships (PPP) between governments, civil society and the private sector and review the incentives for energy efficiency in the property sector: the Tax Breaks for Green Buildings Program. We also provide a link to an interesting read - Project Financing Electricity Generation Projects in NSW, a report written by Dermot Duncan of Crisp Legal.
