CFO as the New Energy Manager

 

From data management and reporting, to targets and actionable emissions reduction, how to navigate the new landscape of Climate Risk Disclosure

​

The financial landscape is shifting, and CFOs are at the forefront of a new era in corporate sustainability. With Australia's mandatory climate-related financial disclosures coming into effect from January 2025, financial leaders must now integrate climate risk into their reporting frameworks and strategic decision-making.

 

Join us for an exclusive, intimate gathering of industry leaders and high-level executives, where we will explore the evolving role of CFOs in energy management and compliance. This event will provide insights into the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), including the AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures, which align with international frameworks to ensure transparency and accountability.

 

Through expert discussions and peer engagement, we will uncover how CFOs can:

✅ Ensure compliance with Australia's Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Act 2024

✅ Leverage climate-related financial disclosures to drive sustainable investment and corporate resilience

✅ Navigate the phased implementation of reporting requirements based on entity size and emissions levels

✅ Capitalize on opportunities within Australia's transitioning energy landscape

 

The Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) are a set of reporting requirements designed to enhance transparency and accountability in corporate sustainability disclosures. Developed by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), these standards align with international frameworks to ensure consistency in climate-related financial reporting.

 

 

Key Components of ASRS:

1. AASB S1 – General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information

• A voluntary standard allowing entities to disclose sustainability-related risks and opportunities beyond climate.

• Helps businesses assess how sustainability factors impact financial performance and investment decisions.

​

2. AASB S2 – Climate-related Disclosures

• A mandatory standard requiring entities to report climate-related risks and opportunities that could affect cash flows, access to finance, or cost of capital.

• Aligns with the IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, ensuring consistency with global reporting practices.

• Applies to entities covered under the Corporations Act 2001, with mandatory reporting starting from January 2025.
