The Qld based Sustainability & Supply Roundtable (SSRt) is a professionally managed  initiative by SIRFRT providing members with access to a substantial body of local, national and international knowledge and expertise, in a wide range of business practices and processes. Specifically, emphasis is on providing practical insight into technical innovation, operational practice and corporate strategy which will improve the ecological and economic performance of  business.

A principle feature of the SSRt is sharing knowledge and expertise by drawing on the breadth and depth of member experience. Participating businesses will find opportunity to contribute on the basis of their core competencies, while others will share what they have learned or achieved from practical experience within the business, through their interactions with clients and customers or engagement with government and/or academic institutions.

The SSRt provides members with access to leading intellectual and academic sources of knowledge,  and the opportunity to explore legislation established to promote and support sustainable business activity and examine and test application and value.
