“What does sustainability mean for you and your business?”

And here’s what they have to say!

Sustainability is Longevity

Sustainable Goals Academy - Megyn Carpenter

“Sustainability is longevity. It can be the longevity of a business or the longevity of our Earth. Pushing things to the limit is not sustainable. As business owners, we need to look after ourselves and our capacity to be our best selves; we must also look after Mother Earth and her capacity to sustain us. Pushing her to the limits is not sustainable. Once you understand the science behind climate change, you will want to do what you can to be sustainable and protect our lifestyle. I truly believe that business can lead the way with climate action.”

Partners in our Client's Success

Lauxen Cleaning Solutions - Elvis Pereira

“At Lauxen Cleaning Solutions, sustainability means more than longevity; it embodies our commitment to being integral partners in our clients' success. We go beyond traditional cleaning by enhancing the business atmosphere, directly contributing to superior customer experiences and positive reviews. Anchored in our core values of family, high standards, and pride in our work. By focusing on these aspects, we not only aim to stay in business for a long time but also to ensure that our clients thrive alongside us.”

Master Your Financials

The Accountable Boardroom - Chris Beard

“Sustainability in business means having a deep understanding of your financials and making strategic decisions based on that knowledge. Too many business owners think more sales or increased marketing is the answer when finances are tight. This approach can worsen the situation if you don’t have a handle on your numbers. We champion financial clarity as the cornerstone of sustainability. Optimising your numbers is often better than chasing sales; it strengthens your bottom line without additional costs. Master your financials. Make smarter, more sustainable decisions. Forget the quick fixes; build a business that endures with financial insight.”

Today's Decisions Impact Future Generations.

Abbaco Accounting and Advisory - Dante Garcia

“To us, sustainability means adopting practices that ensure longterm economic, environmental, and social wellbeing. It’s about making decisions that benefit our business and clients now, while preserving resources for future generations. We focus on efficiency, ethical practices, and innovation to help small businesses thrive and minimise their environmental impact. This commitment reflects our core values of integrity, responsibility, and community support, creating lasting value for our clients and society.”

Progressive Personal Leadership Culture

PRAXIS Mindset Guide - Shane O’Donnell

“Every human being is a natural-born leader. We all have one thing we were born to do. This is the thing we are better at doing than anyone else. It’s the thing we would love to do all day, every day, and if we did that, then we’d lead in that area. Others would seek us out to get the value we have to give. This is what we are passionate about. It’s your calling that’s at the core of your character. Business owners who make progressive personal leadership learning part of their lifestyle uncover their passion, which is the fuel that transports their lives into the life they genuinely want to live. What do you genuinely want?”
