Post by Australian Institute of Company Directors

Australia's mandatory climate reporting regime has now completed its first reporting cycle, marking one of the most significant changes to corporate reporting in a generation. So what have boards learned? In this episode of Director Download, we speak with Tim Bednall, Partner and Head of Governance at Mallesons, and Dr Eileen Doyle, experienced non-executive director and board member of Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure. Together, they unpack the lessons emerging from year one, including where organisations underestimated the challenge, the practical realities of implementation, and what directors should be doing now as the regime expands to more entities. They also explore a key question for boards: is mandatory climate reporting strengthening governance and decision-making, or simply creating additional compliance burden?
