In 2023, we launched the CA Sustainability Community and in 2025, two years in, we continue to see the community grow. The CA Sustainability Community is a webinar series aimed at supporting our members, their teams and the broader finance community as they expand their knowledge in sustainability and climate reporting. 

Our goal is to close the knowledge gap and to continue to support members in Australia and New Zealand with their ongoing sustainability reporting knowledge uplift journey.
