ESG

In Australia, the pendulum is swinging from voluntary action back towards mandatory action. This has everything to do with the 2024 amendments to the Corporations Act that mandate climate-related financial disclosures. As more entities are captured by these rules each year, the ESG conversation is shifting fast.

Sustainability and climate risk aren’t “nice to have” anymore; they’re business fundamentals. Organisations across every sector are now expected to understand their climate-related risks, respond to regulation and weave ESG into everyday decision-making.  One qualification that genuinely enables this capability is the GARP Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certification. 

The Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) will reshape the way companies disclose climate-related financial risks and opportunities. Aligned with the International Sustainability Standards Board’s IFRS S1 and S2, the new regime introduces a consistent, investor-focused framework for sustainability and climate disclosures.  For many organisations, the challenge isn’t whether to act... It’s knowing where to start.
