Mandatory Climate Reporting:

What Your Business Needs to Know​

As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, mandatory climate reporting is becoming a critical requirement for businesses. Sustainability reporting requirements will commence for the financial year starting on or after 1 January 2025, with reporting entities divided into three groups and their obligations phased in over three years. At Energus, we’re committed to supporting businesses in navigating these changes while integrating sustainable energy solutions into their operations.

What Is Mandatory Climate Reporting?

Mandatory climate reporting refers to the obligation for businesses to disclose their climate-related risks, opportunities, and carbon footprints. The aim is to ensure that investors, stakeholders, and regulators have access to reliable and consistent data to assess a company’s environmental impact and sustainability strategies.

Under s296A(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Corporations Act), the sustainability report for a financial year consists of: 

  • the climate statements for the year;

  • any notes to the climate statements; and

  • the directors’ declaration about the statements and notes.
