Understand Australia’s evolving climate disclosure requirements and learn how to lead effective sustainability reporting in your organisation.

As expectations around environmental accountability grow, sustainability reporting has become a key element of modern corporate governance. This course equips governance professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to meet Australia’s new climate-related financial disclosure requirements.

You will gain a clear understanding of the changing regulatory landscape, the importance of aligning with international reporting standards and the role of transparency in building stakeholder trust. The course also introduces a Climate Readiness Assessment Tool to help organisations evaluate their current position and prepare for compliance.

Ideal for those involved in reporting, governance or sustainability, this course offers practical guidance for navigating the shift toward more responsible and resilient corporate practices.
