Overview

What every business needs to know about ESG reporting

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting is quickly becoming a key consideration for Australian businesses, as it will be mandatory for all large Australian businesses by 2027.

Understanding where your business sits within the ESG landscape is the first step toward preparing for future reporting requirements.

Reporting Thresholds

Environmental

We help businesses reduce their environmental impact, manage resource use efficiently, and comply with regulations around emissions, waste, and energy – supporting long-term sustainability.

Carbon Footprint Measurement & Reporting

We help clients accurately measure and report their carbon footprint, including Scope 1, 2 and, where applicable, Scope 3 emissions. Using established frameworks such as the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol or ISO 14064, we provide practical guidance on emissions data collection, calculation methodologies and regulatory compliance. Whether for internal tracking or external disclosure, our support ensures clients are well positioned to meet growing stakeholder and regulatory demands.

Sustainability Reporting and Assurance

Our team supports clients in developing and refining their sustainability and ESG reports, with a focus on the environmental aspects. We ensure disclosures are aligned with leading global standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), or the new ISSB standards. We also offer independent assurance over environmental metrics and statements, helping to enhance credibility with investors, regulators and customers.

Environmental Risk Assessment and Strategy

We work closely with organisations to identify, assess and manage environmental and climate-related risks that may affect their operations or financial performance. Our services include integrating these risks into broader enterprise risk management frameworks and supporting scenario analysis to model potential future impacts. Through this process, we help clients build long-term environmental resilience and align their strategies with the transition to a low-carbon economy.

ESG Data and Systems Integration

Accurate and consistent environmental data is critical to meaningful ESG performance. We help clients integrate environmental metrics into their existing financial and operational systems, including ERP and ESG software platforms. Our services ensure robust data collection, improved reporting processes and greater transparency, enabling organisations to track progress and meet disclosure requirements with confidence.

Social

We assist organisations in addressing how they interact with people – employees, customers, and communities – by improving workplace practices, diversity and inclusion, community engagement, and supply chain responsibility.

Workforce Diversity & Inclusion Audits

We help clients assess and report on diversity across gender, age, ethnicity and ability, as well as review policies for equity, inclusion and belonging.

Employee Wellbeing & Human Capital Reporting

We support businesses in disclosing employee wellbeing initiatives, turnover rates, training programs, health and safety, and engagement metrics – aligned with standards like GRI or ISSB.

Governance ESG illustration

Governance

We help strengthen internal systems and decision-making processes, ensuring transparency, ethical conduct, compliance, and sound risk management to build stakeholder trust and long-term resilience.

Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC) Reviews

We help clients assess and strengthen internal governance structures, including board oversight, risk management frameworks, and compliance with relevant corporate laws, codes and industry regulations.

ESG Consulting & Sustainability Reporting

We help organisations develop practical ESG reporting frameworks and prepare sustainability reports aligned with applicable reporting standards. Our team can support the end-to-end preparation of sustainability reports and ESG disclosures, ensuring they are audit ready.

ESG Reporting & Disclosure Assurance

We provide assurance services over ESG-related disclosures (e.g. in sustainability reports or integrated annual reports), ensuring the governance-related data reported is accurate, complete and aligned with global standards like GRI, SASB or ISSB.

Governance Risk Assessments & Gap Analyses

We conduct gap analyses of clients’ governance frameworks compared to industry benchmarks and ESG rating agency criteria, identifying governance risks and opportunities to improve transparency, integrity and decision-making processes.
