BBM’s Commitment to Sustainability: Empowering a Thriving Future

At BBM, sustainability is fundamental to a thriving society. Through our Global Footprints Scholarship program, we are equipping young Australians with the skills and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to social, environmental and economic sustainability. The Global Footprints Scholarship Program nurtures the next generation of leaders to build a better future for all.

A Balanced Approach to Sustainability

Sustainability requires balancing human interaction with environmental stewardship, social equity and economic progress. BBM is committed to advancing sustainability in all aspects of our operations and programs. Our vision, values and purpose align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), prioritising the following three goals:

  1. SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

    Building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and fostering innovation

  2. SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

    Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

  3. SDG 13: Climate Action

    Taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

BBM and GFS: A Shared Purpose

The Global Footprints Scholarship program reflects BBM’s unwavering commitment to sustainability by providing young Australians with transformative international opportunities. Through the program, scholars:

• Gain insights into sustainable practices within their industries.

• Learn how to align their work with the UNSDG framework for maximum impact.

• Return to their communities as changemakers, ready to lead initiatives that contribute to a thriving society.

Partnering for a Sustainable Future

BBM collaborates with UN Youth Australia to help scholars understand their purpose and impact in the context of the UNSDGs. This partnership provides scholars with:

• A platform to learn about sustainability from a global perspective.

• Opportunities to join a purpose-driven movement where young people lead and support each other.

• A network of peers dedicated to shaping a sustainable future for their industries and communities.

By fostering collaboration and empowering young leaders, this partnership helps scholars contribute to the UNSDGs in meaningful and impactful ways.

Embedding Sustainability in Our Operations

BBM is committed to integrating sustainability across all facets of our work, from governance to program delivery. This includes:

  • Upholding environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices to align with our sustainability goals.

  • Encouraging scholars to develop innovative, sustainable solutions to industry challenges.

  • Driving climate action by promoting practices that address the urgent need for a sustainable planet.

Creating a Legacy of Impact

BBM’s commitment to sustainability is about more than addressing today’s challenges – it’s about shaping a thriving future. By empowering young Australians to become leaders in sustainability through the Global Footprints Scholarship program, we ensure our vision for social, environmental and economic balance endures for generations to come.
