To commemorate the next 25 years of growth and success, Business South Bank (BSB) launched a new collaborative initiative The Sustainability Pledge, the first of its kind for a precinct in Queensland.
 
The Sustainability Pledge is a collective call of action by BSB members to ‘pledge’ to consider the environment, to be inclusive, and to create a healthy precinct.

The Pledge celebrates sustainability champions and supports those starting their sustainability journey.
 
As part of the Pledge, BSB will:

• Create forums for ideas sharing
• Connect people for mutual benefit – an expert in one area may be the student
  in another
• Provide access to resources/information
• Share the vision for the precinct with City and State Government and other stakeholders

Get involved in the Pledge by:

• Sharing information about your sustainability initiatives and achievements.
• Attending information sessions
• Looking through and using the various resources available on BSB website
• Reach out to BSB if you don’t know where to start – Click here
