The PHCCI Business Excellence Awards celebrate the achievements and innovation of small to medium businesses in Port Hedland, recognizing outstanding leadership, employee dedication, and the potential for business growth. This sponsorship highlights LBF’s support for local businesses and their contributions to the region’s economy and community.
LBF’s sponsorship of the Women in Business Luncheon Series reinforces its commitment to gender diversity and inclusion. These luncheons, which began on International Women’s Day in 2021, provide women in the Pilbara with networking opportunities and insights into topics like inclusion, innovation, work-life balance, and leadership. This aligns with LBF’s focus on empowering women and fostering their leadership within the workforce.
Similarly, the Men in Business Luncheon Series offers male leaders a platform to discuss leadership and innovation, encouraging them to contribute to creating inclusive and future-ready workplaces.
The Hedland Economic Forum brings together key industry and community leaders to discuss economic trends and opportunities in the Pilbara. LBF’s sponsorship supports the region’s growth by providing businesses with the tools and insights they need to remain competitive in an evolving global economy.
