Understanding Australia’s mandatory climate related financial disclosures

Earlier this month the Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Bill 2024 was passed requiring reporting entities to make Mandatory Climate Related Financial Disclosures.  Australian companies are well underway in preparing for these new reporting criteria.

During this webinar,  we’ll unpack what companies need to report on to meet these new regulatory requirements and how companies can begin measuring their GHG emissions to a standard that will meet independent assurance requirements under the new requirements.
