7. Big Business IS Getting the Message
“ population growth,
exploitation of natural
resources, climate
change and other factors
are putting the world on
a development trajectory
that is not sustainable…if
we fail to alter our
patterns of production
and consumption, things
will begin to go badly
wrong”

8. Costs and Risk to Increase
“ The resources on which businesses
rely will become more difficult to
access and more costly. There
will be an increasing strain on
infrastructure and natural systems
as patterns of economic growth
and wealth change. Physical
assets and supply chains will be
affected by the unpredictable
results of a warming world. And
business will be confronted with
an ever more complex web of
legislation and fiscal instruments.”

9. Seeing Opportunities Also
“ the bold, the visionary
and the innovative
recognise that what is
good for people and
the planet will also be
good for the long-term
bottom line and
shareholder value…
competitive advantage
can be carved out of
emerging risk.”

11. But Australians Apparently are Not!
Australians are effectively
indifferent to global and
societal issues
Australians have put aside the
the environment in favour of
Food, health, crime, safety and
rights to basic public services -
“tangible things people
confront on a daily basis”
What Matters to Australians, produced by the University of
Technology, Sydney and the Melbourne Business School
