Getting started with Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS)

Australia’s Sustainability Reporting Act introduces mandatory climate-related disclosures for organisations that meet the relevant thresholds. For entities preparing to report for the first time, the immediate challenge is understanding what is required, when it applies, and how the different elements of the reporting framework fit together.

This webinar provides a high-level overview of Australia’s sustainability reporting regime, with a focus on the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS). We will explain how the standards are structured, how they work alongside the Corporations Act, AASB S2, as well as other voluntary reporting frameworks used in Australia. We will also cover practical next steps for reporting entities. The session is designed to help organisations orient themselves before moving into detailed implementation.

Drawing on Fair Supply’s experience working with ESG, sustainability, risk and compliance teams, we will also highlight how reporting expectations intersect with emissions data, data governance, and supply chain visibility into emissions exposure.
