Australia’s mandatory climate-related financial disclosures

Australia’s mandatory climate-related financial disclosures

Closely aligned to IFRS’ Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB S2), the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) took effect 1 January 2025. Reporting is mandatory, capturing local listed and unlisted businesses, and global companies listed in Australia. While disclosure is phased across three reporting groups, the requirements are broad and complex, and organizations need to start preparing.
