Guide to Australian mandatory climate disclosure (ASRS)

Like Alice through the looking glass, Australian business has entered the new world of mandatory climate-related financial disclosure. Here in Australia, local entities (and global businesses listed on the Australian Stock Exchange) will report under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). 

The reporting task is significant and to support preparations, ERM has organised our ASRS tools and resources into a guide which steps you through the elements of mandatory reporting - covering governance, risks (physical and transition) and opportunities, emissions (Scope 1 and 2 initially, Scope 3 by the second year) and transition plans, metrics, and how the business' strategy is informed by climate-related matters. The requirements increase over time. The level of assurance also increases over time. To help, ERM Energetics has compiled our insights, tools, and resources into a step-by-step ASRS Guide. Our advice also helps you go beyond compliance — and use ASRS to create value for your business.
