Driving positive social change with co-operatives and mutual enterprises (CMEs) – Expert Guide Launch
This event celebrates the release of a new guide developed by Kyle Ramsay from the University of Technology Sydney and Corin Millais, Head of Sustainability and ESG at Teachers Mutual Bank Ltd. With a focus on social responsibility, the guide presents a practical framework for promoting cooperatives and mutual enterprises (CMEs) as a pathway to sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
Attendees will benefit from an in-depth overview of the guide’s key findings, setting the stage for understanding how CMEs contribute to business and community resilience. The guide’s authors share insights into leveraging cooperative models to build equitable, sustainable business structures—showcasing how these structures prioritize people over profit and foster long-term social impact.
A highlight of the event is a panel discussion with leading industry experts, including Melina Morrison of the Business Council of Co-operatives and Mutuals (BCCM), Corin Millais, and Mark Worthington from Australian Mutual Bank. These thought leaders will explore CMEs’ potential to revolutionize traditional business models, sharing real-world examples of how cooperatives drive positive change in diverse sectors.
This interactive event includes a live Q&A session, providing a unique opportunity for participants to engage directly with the panelists. Attendees can ask questions and gain practical insights into the role of CMEs in today’s evolving socio-economic landscape.
