Helping organisations navigate climate and sustainability reporting, strengthen disclosure quality and derive greater value from the reporting process.

Reporting that supports better decisions, stronger disclosures and greater transparency

Reporting plays an important role in helping organisations understand risks and opportunities, strengthen governance, support decision-making and communicate progress with confidence.

Anthesis helps organisations navigate climate and sustainability reporting requirements, including the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), the Safeguard Mechanism and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme, while building the foundations for stronger performance, transparency and long-term value creation.

NGERs Reporting

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme is Australia’s national framework for reporting greenhouse gas emissions, energy production and energy consumption. Administered by the Clean Energy Regulator, NGER reporting applies to organisations that meet specific facility or corporate group reporting thresholds.

Anthesis has supported organisations with NGER reporting, assurance and compliance for more than a decade. Our team brings over 30 years of combined industry and advisory experience, including extensive expertise in NGER and the Safeguard Mechanism. We help organisations improve data quality, strengthen governance, meet reporting obligations and prepare for the growing scrutiny associated with climate-related disclosures.

PCAF Standard

Banks and financial institutions worldwide play a crucial role in facilitating the transition to a decarbonised world. The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials – PCAF Standard – guides entities in assessing and disclosing their financed emissions, fostering a deeper understanding of their emissions profiles and identifying pathways to reduce them.

According to the PCAF Standard, emissions are attributed to financial institutions based on robust, consistent accounting rules specific to each asset class. By following the methodologies for each, financial institutions can measure GHG emissions for each asset class and produce disclosures that are consistent, comparable, reliable, and clear.

Digitising Data Collection

Collecting data from a wide range of teams and geographies is a complex process. Regulation and auditing processes have increased pressure to get data collection right, and prove it. With our wide-ranging sustainability expertise and knowledge of frameworks, we can support you to identify what to collect and how. Mero, our data collection system, makes this process simpler, with frameworks and sign off procedures built-in.

Communications & Activation

With multiple audiences and regulatory or framework requirements, sustainability and integrated reports have to work hard. Through our in-house communication, writing and design expertise, we produce reports that are transparent, engaging, creative and that bring your brand and stories to life. We know how to visualise data and to beautifully describe your activities succinctly. Our infographics often play an important role in impact communications and activations as well. We see that reporting doesn’t end with a PDF report, and use our video, web, photography and social media capabilities to activate report content and to build targeted audience engagement.

Materiality

Reporting relies on understanding what topics matter to your business. We support businesses in assessing where impacts, risks and opportunities lie, and in creating value and knowledge in the process. We support businesses to understand materiality through an impact, financial and double materiality lens, with a focus on building capacity in the organisation to support integrated sustainability management.

We also assist Australian entities reporting to the Safeguard Mechanism, the National Greenhouse Emissions Reporting scheme (NGERs) and the Accounting for Nature Framework.

We guide organisations through the intricacies of compliance, data collection, and disclosure, ensuring we leverage processes to add strategic value where possible.

Our expertise in navigating diverse reporting frameworks and regulations enables organisations to meet obligations transparently and efficiently.

Scope 3 Reporting

We help organisations build credible Scope 3 inventories, improve data quality and prepare for mandatory disclosure requirements. From category screening and materiality through to supplier engagement and reporting, we help organisations navigate one of the most complex areas of climate reporting.
