Reporting Matters - Australian Edition
Harness the global insights of WBCSD and Radley Yeldar to enhance corporate sustainability reporting in Australia.
Each year, using the Reporting Matters methodology, we evaluate the published sustainability reports from our Australian member companies against a stringent set of indicators. We then provide one-on-one debriefs for each member, delivering customised insights to elevate their reporting and highlighting areas of excellence, benchmarked against leading disclosure and reporting practice.
The challenge
Australian companies face growing scrutiny over their sustainability reports. Australian Regulatory bodies including ASIC and APRA, and Standards Boards (AASB, ASX) along with investors, are intensifying disclosure requirements. Simultaneously, other stakeholders, including the public and NGOs, demand authentic sustainability insights. Reporting Matters serves as your essential guide to navigate this complex landscape.
The business case
The corporate reporting landscape in Australia is continuously evolving, influenced by both local and international standards (ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, ASIC Guidelines, APRA Prudential Standards, Australian Accounting Standards) and international standards and frameworks (EFRAG, SEC, Global Reporting Initiative, IFRS) as well as sustainability frameworks (SDG Agenda, TCFD, TNFD). This broad array of influences ensures that companies adept at navigating this intricate environment are better positioned to meet the diverse expectations of their global stakeholders, including those impacted by European and American regulations.
The solution
Reporting Matters empowers our members to realise the full potential of sustainability reporting. We demonstrate how innovative Australian companies are using reporting as a tool for internal transformation and stakeholder engagement.
