Expressions of Interest – Board Director
Board Director
The UN Global Compact Network Australia (UNGCNA) is seeking expressions of interest for appointment to its Board of Directors in May 2026. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of responsible business in Australia — and to join a dynamic group of senior leaders guiding the national chapter of the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. As a UNGCNA Director, you will contribute to the evolution of corporate sustainability in Australia — engaging with senior business leaders, government, and the United Nations to influence sustainable business standards, reporting practices, and emerging ESG regulation.
We are seeking professionals with expertise in finance, legal and governance, or digital technology — particularly those who also bring strategic, marketing, fundraising, or
commercial acumen.
We value diversity of thought, background, and lived experience — and welcome candidates who bring a mix of passion, professionalism, and purpose to the role. We are prioritising applications from individuals working in UN Global Compact participating organisations. We particularly
welcome applications from C-suite executives at participating organisations, including Chief Financial Officers, General Counsel, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Sustainability Officers, and Chief Digital or Technology Officers who are seeking to deepen their strategic engagement with sustainability and responsible business leadership. As a board director, you will join senior leaders from across sectors, and plays a key role in advancing Australia’s contribution to the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Directors gain opportunities to connect with peers from ASX-listed companies, global brands, government, academia and the UN system.
