Decarbonisation is a once-in-a-lifetime challenge for all our companies, requiring a complete overhaul of production processes, investment in new technologies, and a shift in equipment maintenance and reliability strategies and tactics.

In this keynote panel discussion, we look at decarbonisation through the lens of different stakeholders – senior asset management leaders, regulators and technology providers, discussing the importance of collaboration to drive meaningful emission reductions.

In a MAINSTREAM first, the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) will outline their role and explain the impact of the Safeguard Mechanism and the Australian Carbon Exchange. Thereafter we tackle key principles like risk, skills, and communication. The session encourages interaction and is designed for you to discover how you and your team can support and positively influence these initiatives in your company.

• Leveraging site strengths on the decarbonisation journey
• Balancing operations, performance, maintenance costs, risk, and emissions
• Educating and empowering teams to make an impact
• Real-world examples of achieving reduction targets and future improvements
• Communicating the decarbonisation transition to the frontline workforce
• Working with regulators and proactively adapting to stay compliant
• Addressing the risks associated with stranded assets
• Managing capacity and resources as we all decarbonise together

In today's globalised world, workplace diversity is essential for organisations to remain competitive and thrive. A diverse workforce can bring fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a range of skills and experiences that can help organisations stay agile and adaptable in the face of change. However, simply having a diverse workforce is not enough. To fully leverage the benefits of diversity, organisations must also foster a culture of inclusion, where every employee feels valued, respected, and supported. In this panel, we will explore the challenges and opportunities people leaders are facing when building a culture of belonging in the workplace, with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our panellists will share their experiences and insights on:

• Best practices for creating an inclusive workplace.
• Strategies for recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse workforce.
• Promoting equity and fairness in the workplace.
• Creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best.

Our panellists will also discuss how organisations must can DEI initiatives, and the importance of engaging employees at all levels in creating a more inclusive workplace. We will explore how organisations can measure the impact of their DEI efforts, and the benefits of creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace for employees, customers, and the broader community.
