Enginuity Power Solutions recognizes that the most sustainable energy is the energy we never use. Dedicated to creating cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions, we are helping Australian businesses across various sectors navigate the new ESG reporting requirements and advance towards a more sustainable future.
As the Australian government moves toward implementing new legislation later this year, the landscape of corporate responsibility is shifting. This proposed legislation will compel medium and large businesses, including those in manufacturing, energy, agriculture, retail, and healthcare, to disclose climate-related financial information. This move aligns with global efforts defined within the Paris Agreement which are to “substantially reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to hold global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels”.
The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has been tasked with developing standards that ensure transparency and consistency with international mandates on climate-related financial disclosures. This initiative is set to roll out in phases beginning in 2024, with more detailed reporting on indirect value chain emissions required by 2027.
The Path to Compliance with new ESG reporting requirements
For companies, the journey toward net-zero emissions begins with reducing energy consumption and improving operational efficiencies. As these new standards come into play, businesses will need to rigorously analyze their energy usage and seek innovative solutions to ensure compliance.
Currently, while the government reviews public feedback on the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards draft, businesses should start preparing for increased expectations of transparency and accountability. The forthcoming regulations signify a crucial step towards environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility, pushing companies to adopt best practices in energy management and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance.
