With Australia's mandatory sustainability reporting (ASRS) regime now well underway, Group 1 entities are lodging their first disclosures under AASB S2 in 2026, with Group 2 and Group 3 entities to follow in 2027 and 2028 respectively. These early reports are beginning to surface valuable insights about the approaches organisations are taking toward credible climate disclosure.

If you're a Group 1 reporter looking to strengthen your second-year disclosure and benchmark against your peers, or a Group 2 or 3 entity building the foundations for your own reporting obligations, the lessons from the first wave of published sustainability reports will provide timely and relevant learnings. 

Join us for an intimate evening of expert insight and peer conversation with Dr Arne Geschke, one of Australia's leading experts in supply chain emissions modelling and Scope 3 reporting.
