This is the fourth webinar in our series of monthly deep dives, where we guide you through the fundamentals of preparing for Mandatory Climate-related Reporting and the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) AASB S1 and S2.

This October 23rd session will run through the fundamentals of Climate Transition Planning. 

Overview of Climate Transition Planning for ASRS

  • How mandatory requirements apply to climate transition plans
  • Emerging regulatory expectations for climate transition plans in Australia and globally
  • Reporting frameworks for integrating credible decarbonisation plans, climate risk and opportunity and real economic impact 
  • How to get started, what steps to take now and what you need to include

Industry Case Study: Meredith Read, Orica – Head of Sustainability

  • Orica’s approach to climate transition planning, including early considerations of potential business risk, and the progressive implementation of a roadmap towards TCFD-aligned reporting over a multi-year timeframe;
  • Broader consideration on the role of disclosure frameworks in identifying and prioritising areas for focus, in the context of materiality and alignment with core business strategy, and the importance of taking a measured approach;
  • Preparation for mandatory reporting requirements, including working closely across multiple business units, and a focus on addressing current ‘true’ disclosure gaps, as well as an improved approach to ESG data management; and
  • The importance of external and internal verification of data to ensure confidence and mitigate ‘greenwash’ risk.

Time permitting, you will have the opportunity to engage in a quickfire Q&A with our experts at the conclusion or submit questions for follow-up.

In this webinar and throughout the series, we’ll explore in detail the key elements of the standards and offer practical tips for everything you need to know to prepare for reporting, answer your questions and explore the opportunities that exist beyond compliance to drive innovation, efficiency, sustainable performance and business value.

Future webinars will cover themes including assessing material risks and opportunities, measuring and reporting scope 3 emissions, considerations for materiality, integrating climate and nature, assurance, links with financial reporting and more.

The sessions are 30-minute, early morning deep dives into specific subjects, designed for busy leaders seeking concise, practical insights.

They will provide you with valuable guidance for each stage of your mandatory climate reporting journey, helping you understand what is required and make meaningful progress.
