Executive Briefing: The hidden costs of getting NGER and ASRS reporting wrong

The greatest risk in climate and emissions reporting arises when reporting processes, governance arrangements, or control frameworks fail to ensure accuracy and thus don’t meet internal or regulatory expectations. This exposes companies to assurance challenges, compliance/enforcement action and costly remediation programs.

As climate reporting obligations evolve under NGERs and expand under ASRS, executives and board members need confidence that their reporting approach can stand up to scrutiny,  be done in the most cost-effective manner and support sound decision-making, including on investments.

Join Anthesis for a focused executive briefing and fireside chat hosted by Director Michael Salvatico and featuring Mark Williamson, Strategic Advisor Climate and Nature and former Executive General Manager at the Clean Energy Regulator, where he spent almost 14 years leading major climate mitigation regulatory programs. Mark will be joined by Director Thomas Hodgson, who is trusted by many of Australia’s largest and most complex businesses and has led some of the nation’s largest decarbonisation projects.

Drawing on experience from both regulator and adviser perspectives, Mark and Thomas will share practical insights into what regulators are looking for, the actions leaders can take to strengthen governance, thereby improving reporting confidence, reducing organisational risk, and finding efficiencies and commercial emissions-reduction opportunities.

This session is designed for leaders across finance, risk, sustainability, governance and executive teams responsible for reporting, assurance, investment decisions and organisational risk.
