True progress happens at the
crossroads of cutting-edge
technology and human ingenuity.
In this episode of his podcast, The
Mentor, entrepreneur Mark Bouris AM
talks to Dr Aengus Tran, CEO of
Sydney-based healthcare startup Harrison.ai, about the latest

of the most significant issues
facing the global healthcare sector.

Australia’s largest companies need to
broaden their environmental, social
and governance (ESG) disclosures,
says PWC’s report, ESG Reporting
in Australia: Change afoot, but are
companies ready? The report evaluates
the latest ESG reporting from ASX200
companies against the standards set
out by the International Sustainability
Standards Board (ISSB). While there
has been a significant uplift in ESG
reporting efforts, the report concludes
that significant additional effort is
required for many ASX200 companies
to achieve the full value of transparency
on ESG issues and realise the significant
financial advantages of doing so.
The latest Global Estimates of Modern
Slavery report on forced labour and
forced marriage indicates that more
than 50 million people are living in
modern slavery across the globe.
Most cases of forced labour –
86 per cent – are found in the
private sector, and migrants
are particularly vulnerable to
forced labour. Produced by the
International Labour Organization,
Walk Free and the International
Organization for Migration, the
report and accompanying video
explain the significant increase in
modern slavery that has occurred
over the past five years.
