The Australian government has introduced new sustainability reporting standards which requires certain entities to prepare an annual sustainability report. This has been a challenge for many organisations as they begin to meet their reporting obligations.
Why do organisations need to prepare a sustainability report?
Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) require certain entities to disclose information regarding climate-related risks and opportunities.
The accounting standards expect that an organisation’s climate disclosures include information about governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets related to climate-related risks and opportunities.
Far from being a tick-box exercise, ESG is fast becoming a powerful business advantage. It helps organisations:
- Identify and mitigate risks linked to climate change
- Attract investors, customers, and employees who align with their values
- Improve operational efficiency and long-term profitability
