The Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) are driving some of the biggest changes to financial reporting in decades. Set to take effect on 1 January 2025, the ASRS establishes both voluntary and mandatory requirements for general and climate-related financial disclosures. Has your company assessed if and when you’ll need to comply with these mandatory climate-related disclosures?

Join our upcoming webinar, where we will break down the key elements of the ASRS. We’ll clarify which aspects are voluntary and which are mandatory, and provide actionable steps to help your business prepare for compliance, ensuring you're ready to report with confidence.

Even if your company isn’t required to submit mandatory reports until 2028 (or beyond), you’ll likely need to provide relevant climate information to customers, suppliers, and investors much sooner. Being proactive now will strengthen your ESG position and give your business a competitive advantage.

We’ll cover the critical steps for ASRS preparedness, including:

• The importance of early engagement with business partners and investors.
• How ASRS impacts companies, even if they fall below mandatory thresholds.
• Why carbon accounting is now essential beyond high-emitting sectors.
• How a materiality assessment helps focus on disclosing only relevant information.
• The benefits of aligning your disclosures with broader business strategy for long-term success.
