CHALLENGERS: WORLD SUSTAINABILITY DAY GATHERING
Join us, as Sanders Place partners with GROUP GROUP to coordinate a breakfast gathering of climate, impact and sustainability change-makers and rule-breakers, under the one roof as part of this unique day on the calendar.
World Sustainability Day is recognised on the last Wednesday of October, so as part of this activation, we’ll be curating the beautiful Sanders Place spaces with a talkshow-style interview, featuring some incredibly unique perspectives working on complex solutions.

RAJ BAGRI, KAPTURE
Raj is an experienced founder with over 15 years of entrepreneurial success, driven by a strong commitment to tackling climate change. As a diverse female leader in the climate tech sector, she is dedicated to transforming how diesel emissions are managed, empowering industries to make a real, measurable impact in reducing carbon emissions while leveraging existing infrastructure.
The Melbourne-based climate tech company retrofits diesel generators to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into a material that can replace some of the cement in concrete, cutting emissions with no green premium. Having completed a successful pilot with Western Australia’s regional energy provider Horizon Power and signed a supply deal with WA precaster PERMAcast, Bagri is now closing a seed round to scale deployments across mining, construction and remote power.
Raj was recently named in The Australian's Top 100 Innovators List.
TIM CLOVER, GLOW

Included as part of Glow Group are Catalyst - an open-source research and insights program about the major social and environmental issues that we face - and the Social Responsibility Score (SRS), a diagnostic and tracker measuring consumer perception of brands' social and environmental (ESG) performance.
Tim will present research findings, to demonstrate sustainability as the next mega-trend in value creation and a predictive driver of differentiated brand performance. The convergence of insight and foresight is already here: reading the signals in the noise in this greenfield category of research will define brand's competitive advantage for decades to come.
