Mandatory Climate-Related Disclosures: Beyond Obligation to Opportunity

Join us on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 with three international panellists to learn what the incoming Mandatory climate-related disclosures legislation will mean for your business.

Topics to be covered:

1. The current landscape of Mandatory Climate-Related Disclosures in Australia and the challenges and opportunities it presents. The common pitfalls of a compliance-first approach grouped under the 4 pillars of the legislation: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management and Metrics & Targets. An international/UK perspective of how companies and businesses have approached mandatory and voluntary reporting for strategic advantage.

2. Climate Sense: why education is needed for leadership, teams and stakeholders to make informed decisions. We'll share case studies to showcase the limitations of traditional approaches and the transformative potential of integrating sustainability into core business strategies.

3. Why take this next step? Here we'll be showing how to leverage Mandatory-Climate Reporting as a tool for strategic advantage, outlining a roadmap for companies to transition from compliance to purpose, including practical steps and key considerations for leadership. We'll show how climate reporting is more than a tickbox but can start to foster positive systemic change.

4. Once you have your data and have started to integrate this into your strategy, what next? Share your story. Here we demonstrate how strategic storytelling can help companies share what they are doing internally to motivate their team, encourage more discretionary effort (because people care) and lead to greater buy-in for long-term climate solutions.
