The ANZCCJ Sustainability Committee in collaboration with Ashurst and the South Australian Government, supported by Austrade is pleased to invite you to an afternoon of discussion, insights, and networking at the Australian Embassy in Tokyo.
Australia and Japan are at a pivotal moment in their energy transitions - navigating the shared challenge of advancing decarbonisation while maintaining energy security, industrial competitiveness and investor confidence. Against a backdrop of tightening insurance markets, capital constraints, supply-chain disruption and growing geopolitical uncertainty, managing climate and financial risk is becoming central to sustaining credible transition pathways in 2026 and beyond.
This event will bring together senior leaders from finance, insurance, energy, aviation and industry to examine how Australia and Japan can work together to de-risk the transition while preserving commercial viability and long-term energy security. Discussion will focus on project bankability, regulatory and geopolitical pressures, and practical tools to strengthen resilience across bilateral supply chains and investment flows.
Key areas of strategic alignment between the two countries will be explored, including the evolving role of LNG as a transition fuel, hydrogen and ammonia value chains, carbon markets and supply-chain security, and the growing importance of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Perspectives from across aviation, finance, insurance and energy will help connect policy ambition with commercially grounded transition pathways.
Join us for an afternoon of candid discussion and networking as we explore how Australia and Japan can navigate climate, financial and geopolitical risk - and build a more secure, resilient and investable energy transition together.

Impact and Influence of Global ESG Policy on Australian and New Zealand Farmers.
The ANZCCJ Food Agriculture and Hospitality Committee invites members and friends to join us for a presentation by and discussion with distinguished 2024 Nuffield Scholar, Catherine Marriott.
Catherine has conducted an insightful research project on the influence of Global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy on Australian farmers. Her report delves into the challenges and opportunities that ESG policies present to the agricultural sector in Australia. Catherine`s research took her to Europe, Asia (including Japan and Korea) and the USA where she spoke to industry leaders and governments. While the report was focused on Australia the impacts will be similar on farmers in New Zealand.
Key Highlights of the Report:
- Increased Awareness and Adoption: Catherine's research highlights the growing awareness among Australian farmers about the importance of ESG policies and the steps they are taking to adopt sustainable practices.
- Challenges in Implementation: The report identifies significant challenges in implementing ESG policies, including financial constraints, resource limitations, and the need for more education and support.
- Positive Impact on Market Access: Farmers who have embraced ESG policies have experienced improved market access, as consumers and businesses increasingly prioritize products that meet ESG standards.
- Need for Policy Support: Catherine emphasizes the necessity for stronger policy support from the government to aid farmers in transitioning to sustainable practices, including financial incentives and educational programs.
- Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: The report underscores the importance of collaboration between farmers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to share knowledge and best practices for overcoming ESG implementation challenges.
Catherine is a great storyteller, and her presentation promises to be as entertaining as it is insightful. Guest are welcome to ask questions throughout and share their experiences on ESG’s with the group.
