WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF WESTERN AUSTRALIAN SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRY GROUP (WASIG)

PLEASE NOTE
We regret to advise that, due to lack of resources, WASIG has found it necessary to severely limit its activities. We will be continuing the 2005 Eco-Efficient Entrepreneur Series, and will be looking for other "learning-by-sharing" opportunities so please check the Seminars & networking page above on a regular basis. We will also keep the WA Cleaner Production Statement site as current as possible, but we will not be able to seek new signatories. We will strive to find new resources to continue the excellent work WASIG has done over the last 5 years. In the meantime, we encourage all WA industry to pursue Eco-Efficiency and Cleaner Production for a clean and competitive WA.
Martin Taylor, Acting Convenor, WA Sustainable Industry Group

WA SIG is a multi-stakeholder platform of business, public sector, environment, engineering and education professionals committed to a clean and competitive Western Australia, and to advance the business case and agenda for sustainable development.

WA SIG works towards the vision where WA businesses, large and small, lead by example in addressing local and global sustainable development challenges, by delivering innovative, competitively-priced goods and services that bring quality of life, while progressively reducing environmental impact and resource intensity.

WA SIG's Charter outlines the vision, mission, outcomes and planned activities of the the group.

Activities - WA SIG provides learning-by-sharing and networking opportunities to improve the understanding of sustainable development and the business opportunities it presents, through: seminars, executive briefings, roundtable conferences, site visits, "how-to" workshops, networking and information dissemination.

It has not been incorporated as a membership organisation, in order to ease participation from different stakeholders in the activities and management of the WA SIG. WA SIG is convened (on a temporary basis) by Martin Taylor, Industry Liaison Manager, Centre of Excellence in Cleaner Production, Curtin University of Technology, in consultation with a multi-stakeholder group from:
- Curtin University of Technology
