French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry

The French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) was founded in 1899. At the time, Australia’s trade relations with France were almost solely dependent on the export of wool. More than a century later, this relationship now includes a host of many other industries.

The French-Australian Chamber is an independent not-for-profit organisation governed by 15 Board of Directors and comprising of more than 470 members. Our head office is based in Sydney and we also have four other Chapters and offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.

The Chamber is affiliated with CCI France International, a worldwide network of 119 French Chambers operating in 94 countries.

The Chamber's main mission is to promote our members and help French and Australian companies succeed through information, networking and business support services.

Event Details

The French-Australian Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FACCI) is delighted to seeing you during the 3rd Edition of its Sustainability Forum in a hybrid format of both physical and online events hosted by EY in Sydney. FACCI is organising a series of thought leadership initiatives around the topic of Sustainability.


With the support of our Naming Rights Sponsor Schneider Electric, along with many other sponsors, the event will discuss several topics on sustainable economic growth, and the ambition for French and Australian businesses to forge their path as part of an innovative economy in the global sphere. The topics such as "Charting the Future: Navigating Sustainability Reporting in Australia under the Global Lens", "Empowering Tomorrow: AI, Digitalisation, and Energy Consumption", and "Breaking Barriers: Balancing short- and long-term aims, managing the knowledge gap, and determining the role of government to achieve sustainability outcomes", along with Schneider Electric's Index 2024 will be addressed through panel discussions, keynote addresses, C-level luncheons, and business networking evenings.


Collaboration between multinational stakeholders within diverse industries will be an instrumental driver in the path to forging a more sustainable future. This event will bring together key speakers from government, senior academic circles and representatives from leading industry partners to start the conversation about how Australia and France can collaborate to progress towards a sustainable commercial industry.


We look forward to seeing you at the 2024 FACCI Sustainability Forum!
