Responsible Business Practice project

The Australian Federal Government, through Treasury has commissioned St James Ethics Centre to undertake a three year project to expand responsible business practice nationally.

The goals of the project are noted as:

• To expand the number of Australian companies that are actively engaged in identifying and adopting more responsible business practices.
• To consider options to improve, and where necessary refine, the tools that are available to promote responsible business practices across all levels of corporate management.

St James Ethics Centre is proud to announce the launch of a new website: the HUB of Responsible Business Practice. Funded by the Federal Government, through Treasury, this website has been designed as a consolidated space for engagement, interaction and connectivity to help build communities of responsible business practice in Australia.

Here you will discover a portal to the key global initiatives including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Corporate Responsibility Index (CRI) and United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) seeded through a range of local activities. Complimenting these global initiatives are a suite of resources designed to support and guide small to medium enterprise on their responsible business practice journey.
