Brisbane - Climate Disclosure Workshop for Finance Professionals

Join us for an informative workshop designed to provide senior finance leaders with essential insights into Australia’s upcoming climate-related financial disclosure regime.

Last year, the Federal Parliament passed landmark legislation establishing mandatory climate reporting standards for large companies. As of 1st of January 2025, organisations are now required to report on their climate risks, opportunities, and emissions. 

To help you navigate these changes, Edge Impact and McGrathNicol are hosting a Climate Reporting Overview tailored to finance professionals seeking clarity and practical guidance on these new requirements.
