Mandatory climate reporting has loomed since we released the first of these reports, looking at reporting back in 2020. Now, it’s set to be incorporated into the heart of the Corporations Act, capturing a broad range of entities and requiring far more detail than we could have then foreseen.

Our previous reports on best practice amongst the ASX50 have tracked the key developments which have led to this point, highlighted emerging trends and provided valuable tips on preparing for the dual regulatory storm of mandatory climate reporting and greenwashing enforcement action.

This report builds on our cumulative knowledge, continuing to arm you with information on best practice and the latest developments, with a focus on how those supporting boards can help them to not only avoid greenwashing, but also clearly communicate the information required as part of mandatory reporting.
