So it's worth being honest about what our own data shows.

💵 Across ESG, environment and sustainability roles in Australia, the gender pay gap in FY26 sits at $19,832 - lower than the national average of $28,356, but still present.

💵 The gap is most persistent in discretionary pay - bonuses and long-term incentives - rather than base salary.

💵 One bright spot: at the Head of Sustainability level, women are actually earning marginally more than men. And at CSO level, female officers are earning 2.8% more than their male counterparts.

Progress is real. But it's uneven. And it won't close without transparency. That's exactly why we publish this data every year.

The need for innovative solutions has increased to manage the growing demand for electricity due to the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs).

In line with that, researchers in South Australia are exploring solutions that will allow EVs to not only draw power from the grid but also send excess energy back when needed. This can help balance the demand during peak times and potentially reduce strain on the grid.

The survey of 3,000 executives revealed a growing willingness to spend more over the next few years and 80% of respondents are convinced that their organisations’ sustainability initiatives will positively impact their financial performance by 2030.
