How prepared are Australia’s mining and energy sectors for mandatory climate disclosures?
14 May 2024
With the Australian Government’s introduction of new mandatory climate disclosure standards, firms are on the cusp of a fundamental change in financial reporting. Company directors will be required to sign off on mandatory climate disclosures under existing liability frameworks. This emphasises the importance of ensuring credibility of new disclosure content, against an environment of heightened regulatory enforcement of greenwashing misconduct.
