APBC Victoria Networking Night – Renewable Energy Transition, Climate Reporting, and Sustainability Initiatives in Australia-ASEAN Region

Renewable energy transition, climate reporting, and sustainability are reshaping how businesses operate across Australia and the ASEAN region — and with that shift comes real opportunity. Join APBC for an evening exploring what's changing, why it matters, and where the openings are for organisations ready to move early.

This event brings together professionals from across the renewable energy value chain — including project directors, project managers, design managers, and developers from EPC, utility, and engineering consultancy backgrounds — for practical conversation on navigating the evolving regulatory and investment landscape. Attendees can expect the chance to connect with senior industry leaders and peers facing similar challenges, and to walk away with:

• Practical frameworks for assessing, managing, and reporting climate risks and opportunities
• Perspectives from others navigating the same disclosure and governance shifts
• Strategies for moving beyond compliance toward climate-integrated governance and regional positioning

Special Guests and Speakers
- Luigi Toda, MAICD, Founder and Managing Principal - Avara Resilience
- Jules Vincent Jusayan, CPEng, MAICD Managing Director - Power Structure Solutions

With mandatory disclosure regimes such as AASB S2 and PFRS S1/S2 now requiring organisations to report on climate-related risks to cash flow, financing, and capital costs, this is a timely moment to get ahead of the conversation — and to explore how climate-integrated strategy can become a genuine competitive advantage as investment shifts toward resilience and adaptation leadership across ASEAN.
