Welcome Value Australia

March 19, 2025

There is a new and exciting opportunity under the Southern Cross. It’s all about bringing innovative people together and helping them find bigger and better solutions than they could alone. Environments where innovation thrives and where the power of collective intelligence is harnessed to build a better future are the ones in which real change happens.

In 2024, Australia hosted the Global Nature Positive Summit, showcasing global leadership and regional innovation. Building on this leadership, Capitals Coalition is pleased to welcome Value Australia as a key component of its global network of 19 regional collaboration hubs. Value Australia, led by Rayne van den Berg (former CFO of Forico), will connect leaders in business, finance and policy under the Southern Cross to value what matters in decision-making for a more resilient future economy.

The establishment of Value Australia is predicated on the recognition that sustainable economic models necessitate a holistic approach. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, we aim to cultivate an environment conducive to innovative problem-solving and the development of integrated capital assessments.

“I have seen firsthand the benefits that organisations can unlock from measuring, valuing and sharing their positive and negative impacts on the planet and people in alignment with their traditional financial metrics to reimagine their strategic direction and value creation.

It is for this reason that I’m excited for the opportunity to lead Value Australia as a dedicated Capitals Coalition hub here in my region to build confidence in Integrated thinking and reporting and encourage others to protect and create their own value for business, nature, and society”
Rayne van den Berg

More information of how to join and collaborate will be shared in the coming weeks.
