After three years of reporting, the Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act 2018 is undergoing a review. Have you been involved in assessing and addressing modern slavery risks across operations and supply chains? Now is the time to voice your views on issues including:

Should there be penalties for non-compliance with the Act? (I’ve heard convincing arguments for and against)
Should the threshold for reporting entities, currently at $100million annual consolidated revenue, be lowered? (Many are saying yes, but not quite yet)
Does Australia need an Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, providing advice and support to business as they implement responses? (I’ve yet to hear anyone reject this realistically)
Should the Act require annual submission of modern slavery statements? (Although annual submissions take time and effort, the last few years have shown us how fast supply chains can change)
Are current reporting criteria appropriate or are clarifications needed? (Mostly right, but clarity is needed around assessing the effectiveness of actions)
Can the Modern Slavery Register be improved? (It’s obviously being used, with already over 1.6million searches by clients, investors, suppliers and peers, but needs upgrades to increase functionality).

You don’t have to answer every question – just respond to the issues you find most important. Discover more, and complete the online survey or provide your written submission by 22 November 2022 at https://consultations.ag.gov.au/crime/modern-slavery-act-review/

Supply Chain Sustainability School CEO, Hayley Jarick, has teamed up with dispute resolution expert Sarah M Blake to tackle a pressing issue facing many businesses; how do you remediate an issue like modern slavery?

Sarah and Hayley have authored a discussion paper on Remediation and are seeking feedback (see https://www.supplychainschool.org.au/remediation/)

“Many people are unaware that between my time at the Infrastructure Sustainability Council and the Supply Chain Sustainability School, I was the Australian General Manager of Resolution Institute. Resolution Institute is the largest dispute resolution membership organisation across Australia and New Zealand. They train, accredit, and manage directories of mediators, conciliators, expert determiners, adjudicators, arbitrators, restorative justice practitioners and other dispute resolution professionals,” Hayley said.

“During this time, I met Sarah Blake. Many dispute resolvers work in the field part-time, but Sarah has dedicated her professional career to helping others navigate their way through situations the best of us would run from! She is a multi-award-winning powerhouse who gives back to her profession by writing books, training other mediators and was a Director of Resolution Institute. So, when the issue arose in the sustainability sphere of how to remediate modern slavery instances, Sarah was my first call.”

Right now, or in the near future, your grievance mechanism could identify:

modern slavery in your supply chain,
systemic indigenous discrimination in your procurement processes,
a supplier has drawn an unsustainable allocation from a waterway causing significant downstream environmental damage, or
a supplier has caused permanent damage to the land of cultural first nations significance.

These are complex issues made more dynamic when we consider:

stakeholders are networked with competing grievances and interests
stakeholders may be from different jurisdictions, countries and cultures
traditional legal avenues may be limited in resolving all the issues or providing desired outcomes
the environment does not have a human voice to speak up for itself as a stakeholder
competing interests and priorities
high risk of conflict escalation.

These challenges often make negotiation, decision and agreement-making difficult. Most of us would dread finding ourselves implicated in any of these scenarios. It’s also likely that if we ever did, we would not have the skills or experience to navigate the path of best-practice remediation. Unfortunately, parties often end up in the judicial system or managing conflicts on multiple fronts. This negatively costs time, money and reputations and rarely results in what’s best for the victims or the most sustainable solutions. The good news is that there is an established way forward.

“Professional dispute resolvers are skilled at remediating complex issues,” Sarah said.

“Collaboration between professional dispute resolvers and issue subject matter experts is the best way to remediate complex social and environmental issues. Such an approach recognises that complex problems require multi-disciplinary perspectives to assist stakeholders to make wise and informed decisions. Remedies are broad and can include truth-telling, apologies, repatriation, access to health services, legal services, employment, education, financial compensation and preventative future measures.”

“Remediation processes necessarily look beyond a simple agreement and instead assist parties in exploring how to ‘make right’ a given situation. At present, there is great interest and need for this process in the remediation of modern slavery. However, we also recognise that remediation may be suitable to address other complex social, business and environmental issues.”

The Remediation Discussion Paper is designed to help businesses understand and consider what an effective process might look like and how they may be able to engage in such a model.

Feedback on the paper is open until 9 December 2022 via the Supply Chain Sustainability School’s website at https://www.supplychainschool.org.au/remediation/

Ms Delia Rickard, Deputy Chair of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC) put all Australian businesses on notice during a speech on 20 September, “The ACCC will soon be commencing an internet sweep of various environmental claims made by Australian businesses…The ACCC won’t hesitate to take enforcement action where we see that consumers are being misled or deceived by green claims.”

The crackdown comes as concerns grow that some businesses are falsely promoting environmental or green credentials to capitalise on changing consumer preferences. Ms Rickard said, “Sometimes despite best intentions, businesses may inadvertently mislead consumers for a variety of reasons, such as a poor understanding of their supply chain, a lack of due diligence before making marketing claims, or poor reporting practices.”

Don’t let ‘poor understanding’ hinder your progression to a more sustainable business. Invite your colleagues to join your School Membership account, complete a self-assessment and work through your personalised learning action plan. Or better yet, become a School Fellow and not only train your business but your supply chain too.

School Help | Become a Fellow

Ms Rickard shared “5 key rules of thumb” to help businesses “undergoing the transition process to be more sustainable to meet government requirements, shareholder and consumer demand or because it is the right thing to do for the planet.”

1. Make clear what sustainability benefit the product offers. Avoid vague language like ‘green’, ‘natural’, and ‘environmentally friendly’. Also, avoid technical language and technicalities (claims that are technically true but only if certain conditions are met in practice).

2. Substantiate your sustainability claims with facts and keep them up to date. Consider the entire lifecycle of a product when making claims and do not attempt to hide or downplay any negative impacts. Think about collaborating with reputable third-party certification bodies.

3. Comparisons with other products, services or companies must be fair.

4. Be honest and specific about your company’s sustainability efforts. Be transparent about products and environmental policies.

5. Make sure that visual claims and labels are useful to consumers and not confusing.

Opinion piece by Ann Austin, Head of Sustainability Australia, Lendlease

Australia is going to be left behind unless it accelerates the electrification of our construction sites and creates a local renewable diesel market. Both are essential to the decarbonisation of the construction industry – a major contributor of global emissions. Electrification is the surest path to decarbonising construction but there is a very limited availability of electric construction equipment and machinery in Australia. With fuel security, skyrocketing petrol and energy prices, it’s critical we have a renewable fuels industry to decarbonise construction as a transition fuel. The time is now for Governments to provide financial incentives to support electrification and a local renewable diesel industry like in the UK and we need collective action to make this a reality.

The warning signs have been there for years. But the World Economic Forum’s most recent Global Risk Report lays it out in black and white. “Climate action failure” is now the number one long-term global threat and the goal of 1.5°C fundamental to our future. But the transition away from fossil fuels can create jobs in renewable energy industries and secure a self-sufficient supply of reliable, affordable energy.

Construction emissions contribute twenty-three per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, Roughly 5.5% of these emissions are directly caused by powering machinery and equipment, mainly through fossil fuel use. At Lendlease, we’ve set ourselves the ambitious target of reaching ‘absolute zero carbon’ by 2040. To do that, we must find a way to eliminate all emissions from construction sites – and without the use of carbon offsets.

The challenge is clear. How quickly can we move away from powering our construction sites with fossil fuels? With the help of the University of Queensland, we are a step closer to answering that question.

Our research has found electric construction machinery is economically competitive over its operational lifespan, provided we have the right charging infrastructure from the outset. Electrification is the surest path to decarbonising construction but there is still limited availability of electric construction equipment and machinery in Australia. There are no battery-electric models currently available for a significant number of large construction equipment types within typical trades, such as civil, demolition and piling. UQ estimates that we could hit 40% of energy use by 2030 and 60% by 2040.

This still leaves a 40% gap. Construction is not typically considered a ‘hard to abate’ sector – but this 40% tells a clear ‘hard to abate’ story. Supportive policy, financing and advocacy will all be needed as the construction industry makes the transition together.

As the shift to electrification gathers pace, renewable diesel is a critical transition fuel. An advanced biofuel made from animal fats, vegetable oils, and agricultural waste, renewable diesel is chemically identical to conventional diesel and can be used as a 100% ‘drop-in’ fuel without machinery needing any modification.

Lendlease is already using renewable diesel across several construction projects in the United Kingdom, including Google’s headquarters in London.

As renewable diesel is not commercially available in Australia, we are using biodiesel – a cleaner alternative to mineral diesel, but far from zero emissions. Two renewable diesel refineries in regional Queensland and Western Australia are expected to be in production by 2025. While we wait, feedstock like tallow and used cooking oil is being exported overseas to be transformed into renewable diesel in other markets where low-carbon fuel policies have accelerated the adoption of renewable diesel.

California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard, for instance, sparked several commercial renewable diesel ventures. According to UQ’s report, production capacity across the United States is expected to exceed 300,000 barrels per day by 2024 – up from around 25,000 in 2020.

Australia, in contrast, has no low carbon fuel policies to support either electrification or renewable diesel, no national biofuel program and no government subsidies. Yet. If we are to take a serious step change towards decarbonising construction, renewable diesel must be manufactured locally in Australia.

In sustainability circles, people often talk about ‘co-benefits’ of climate action. This may be cleaner air or healthier workplaces or regional jobs or national energy security. In the case of electrification and renewable diesel, the answer is ‘all of the above’.

The signposts are all pointing Australia in one clear direction. The question is how quickly we can introduce policies that support industry to invest in an orderly transition towards the inevitable fossil fuel free future.

Welcome to the People Planet Profit Podcast.

I’m Hayley Jarick, CEO of the Supply Chain Sustainability School and today I’m going to be talking about Homelessness. It may be something that will make you feel uncomfortable, or it might be a trigger for you.

So, if you need to, please seek help from a mental health first aid officer, your workplace employee assistance program, a medical professional or contact Lifeline’s 24/7 Australian crisis support by phone on 13 11 14 or text 0477 13 11 14.

Homelessness is not a fun topic to talk about. Most adults have a hard time processing Australia’s confounding homelessness problem. We don’t know how to talk about it with other adults, we feel uncomfortable explaining it to our kids, and we often struggle to find the right action so end up doing nothing.

In this podcast I’m going to share tips for talking about homelessness, easy actions we can all do, and two personal stories.

On 23 June 2022, Australian leaders in business, community and government will sleep without shelter for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, on one of the longest coldest nights of the year to help change the lives of Australians experiencing homelessness.

The Vinnies CEO Sleepout raises money to provide people experiencing homelessness and people at risk of homelessness with vital access to food, accommodation, education, counselling, employment, and health services to help people overcome poverty in the long term.

For the first time I am going to be one of those CEOs and so I wouldn’t say no to anyone donating using the links in the description.

But, the Vinnies CEO Sleepout does more that raise money it raises awareness so here are some tips from Vinnies about talking about homelessness.

Keep your explanations straightforward

Homelessness is when someone doesn’t have a home, they have no place to sleep, eat or to permanently keep their belongings. Not everyone has friends or family who can help them, so they have to find different places to sleep each night. Not everyone has enough money to own or rent a home. They might not be able to work right now, or maybe their job doesn’t pay them enough money for them to afford a home.

Model compassion and empathy

Show kindness to homeless people by smiling and saying hello. When you buy a copy of the Big Issue, stop to chat with the vendor. If you can afford it, give supermarket gift cards, warm socks, hot coffee, or a meal. I understand that sometime this can be confronting. Indirectly you can give presents to shelters at Christmas and raise money in lieu of birthday presents. One of the easiest inexpensive ways to help is to call out un compassionate and derogatory language towards homeless people in everyday conversations and especially in earshot of homeless people in public.

There are two personal stories I want to share with you. Not because I think I am a perfect example of compassion and empathy but because these two stories keep me honest.

I used to commute home from the Sydney CBD via train to Kogarah and then to bus home. For those that have made that commute will understand that the length of that journey is game of skill and chance.

I thought I was so clever. I knew the fastest walk from my desk and my psychologist’s office to the train station. I knew the exact point on the platform I needed to be at so that when I exited at Kogarah I was right next to the exit stairs. I always smiled when I was at the front of the pack on the stairs and not stuck with the masses at the back. This meant I could walk and not run past the shops and down the stairs to the bus stop. And if you did everything right you would arrive at the bus stop in time to see the bus pull up. This was important because it didn’t wait long and, on the days, when one thing didn’t run to plan you showed up just in time to see it drive away leaving you waiting for 30 minutes until the next bus. In summer this wasn’t so bad but in winter it was dark and cold. The bus stop is in front of an Indian and Nepalese Restaurant, and often on those cold winter nights I would grab a sneaky freshly made naan bread to tide me over until dinner.

Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand Manufacturers should be rubbing their hands together at the opportunities are ripe for the taking in the manufacturing sector. For years manufacturers have warned of the dangers of keeping low inventories, rationalising supply to solitary overseas manufacturers and the prospect of domestic capability extinction. Procurers have gambled on the stability of international health, overseas regulation, environmental resilience, and international shipping capacity – and they are losing.

Manufacturing has also relied on a linear economy for too long. The rise of the circular economy provides stability for resources without adverse consequences from straining environmental and human resources beyond sustainable levels.

Staff retention is going to be key to success for all businesses over the next couple of years. But how do you compete on flexibility when you aren’t working from a desk in an office? Digital advancements and automation will be key to skill retention and remote working in manufacturing. And how do you increase staff loyalty? Give them more than money. Alignment to values, purpose and culture will give your staff more joy than cash. Be transparent and take action on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Get your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) in order if you want to access capital, equity and market share. Deliver on net-zero or carbon-neutral goals, and if you are already there set regenerative goals. Take action on modern slavery and I don’t mean spending more money on glossing up your annual statement. You will get more respect and credibility if you admit your faults and show you’re addressing them than if you try to justify or cover up your failings.

Most people think about sustainability incorrectly. Sustainability is the ability to maintain healthy environmental, social and economic systems in balance, indefinitely, on a global and local scale. It’s meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is not only for tree-hugging greenies. It is not left or right-wing. It is not anti-profit. It is smart. It is stable. It is enduring.
