Disclosure is moving from the voluntary presentation of select narratives to mandatory disclosure of specified impacts. Your Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory (and the Basis of its Preparation (BoP)) needs to be absolutely water-tight, capable of withstanding scrutiny from regulators, auditors, assurance providers, investors, and boards.

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.

Our lives increasingly depend on the cloud, but while we are staring at our screens, few of us are actively contemplating the physical infrastructure that makes it possible. Data centres enable streamed movies, online payments, and AI queries: energy- and water-hungry facilities that are becoming increasingly critical and commonplace in Australia.
