This webinar is essential for Australian companies navigating the new Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). Experts, including Dr. Tim Seigenbeek van Heukelom from Socialsuite and Ilona Macchetta from Ilona Macchetta Consulting, offer practical steps for complying with ASBS S1 (general sustainability) and ASBS S2 (mandatory climate disclosures).

Key takeaways:

• Determine your reporting timeline based on your company size and industry. Even if your company is not mandated to report, consider your role in the value chain and prepare for data requests from investors and business partners.
• Start carbon accounting now, covering Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Software solutions can simplify this process.
• Conduct a robust materiality assessment, focusing on financial materiality and the information needs of investors. Shift from glossy sustainability reports to data-driven disclosures that highlight material risks and opportunities.
• Embed sustainability into your business strategy and align it with financial reporting processes.
• Utilize Social Suite’s ASRS Readiness Assessment to evaluate your current preparedness and identify areas for improvement.

By taking these proactive steps, companies can meet ASRS requirements, enhance investor confidence, and strengthen their overall sustainability performance.
