Calling all investors, community members, campaigners, organisers, and anyone interested in protecting the unique and endangered Maugean Skate from extinction.
You're invited to join this informal get-together in nipaluna/Hobart, hosted by SIX (aka Sustainable Investment Exchange) and Environment Tasmania, on how we can harness shareholder power to push big companies to do better.
Join us in the Packing Room at the Henry Jones Art Hotel for this evening conversation, MC'd by Stuart Barry (Tas Ethical), to:
- Hear from Adam Verwey (CEO and co-founder) about SIX, an ethical investing and shareholder advocacy platform using investor power to create positive change on society's big issues - climate, inequality, workers' rights and more.
- Get insights from Jess Coughlan, environmental campaigner at Neighbours of Fish Farming, on the campaign to save the unique Maugean Skate from the threat of industrial salmon farming in Macquarie Harbour.
- Learn from Kelly Roebuck, Vice Chair of Environment Tasmania, and Living Oceans representative from the international SeaChoice coalition, as to why supermarket responsible sourcing policies are failing the endangered Maugean skate.
- See a quick demonstration on how to use the SIX platform to create change.
- Meet other activists and change-makers campaigning to save the Skate and our living oceans.
Light canapés will be provided. Please RSVP to assist with catering.
