Business Breakfast 2022

Pathway to Thursday 27 October

Why smart businesses are leading the way

The Park Albert Park 7.15am - 9.15am

The theme of this year’s Business Breakfast is: Pathway to Zero: Why smart businesses are leading the way towards a zero emissions economy.

We’ve invited some of Australia’s leaders on emissions reductions to discuss how the private sector is reducing their environmental impact and supporting sustainable developments.

Eytan Lenko Panel Moderator

Eytan is a technology entrepreneur and thought leader of the clean-energy transition. He is the CEO of Boundless Earth, an organisation with a mission to make Australia a Renewable Energy Superpower by 2030. Along with his wife Debbie, he is a co-founder of the Jewish Climate Network. Eytan and Debbie have three children at KDS.

Stan Krpan CEO Solar Victoria

Solar Victoria delivers the Victorian Government’s flagship $1.3 billion Solar Homes Program, as well as the Solar for Business Program, Home Heating and Cooling Upgrades Program and Zero Emissions Vehicle Subsidies. Stan has a track record of delivering high-profile government programs and reforms across various sectors including renewable energy. Anna Skarbek CEO Climateworks Centre

Climateworks Centre is a nonprofit organisation working towards system-wide net zero solutions. A former banker and green policy adviser, Anna has led Climateworks since its creation in 2009, analysing emissions reduction opportunities, setting the ambition and unblocking barriers to implementation.

Ben Burge Member of the Team Telstra Energy

Ben has been at the helm of epic and humiliating failures across six industries and three continents, in the midst of which he picked fights with bullies, lost (and then rediscovered) his faith in democracy, and occasionally got lucky in the all-consuming religion of start-up and early-stage growth. In June, the King David Foundation launched the Time to Thrive campaign to drive fundraising for our new leadingedge Sports & Health Precinct. The building will operate as sustainably as possible including generating its own electricity. Funds raised from our 2022 Business Breakfast will support this project.
