Sustainability Reporting & Disclosure Made Simple
The sustainability reporting and disclosure landscape is complex and evolving. We make it simple.
Organisations operate in an environment where investors, regulators, customers and other stakeholders expect clear, credible and decision-useful sustainability information. Effective reporting requires more than disclosure alone. It relies on accurate data, transparent communication and a clear understanding of the risks, opportunities and impacts that matter most.
Whether you’re responding to regulatory requirements such as the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), the Safeguard Mechanism or the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme, or looking to communicate progress against broader sustainability goals, our experts can help.
We combine technical expertise with strategic insight to deliver reporting that meets compliance requirements, supports decision-making and builds stakeholder confidence.

Mandatory Climate-related Disclosures Under ASRS
The Australian Government has introduced the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) AASB S2, to improve transparency around climate-related risks, opportunities and performance. The standards align closely with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework and require eligible organisations to disclose climate-related governance, strategy, risk management, targets, metrics and greenhouse gas emissions.
We’re able to assist your business successfully navigate climate risk reporting including:
- Climate-related financial disclosure aligned with ASRS, ISSB and TCFD standards.
- Developing strategies for climate mitigation and adaptation, and establishing metrics and targets.
- Qualitative and quantitative scenario analysis to assess financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities.
- Full value chain GHG accounting based on GHG Protocol and financed emissions measurement using PCAF framework.
- Advising and reporting on nature-related risk and opportunities to TNFD.
- Seeking out opportunities for efficiencies, innovation, long-term resilience building and driving sustainable performance.

Safeguard Mechanism
Our multidisciplinary team of experts has been trusted to deliver trusted and quality advice and guidance on the Safeguard Mechanism for many of Australia’s largest emitters and project developers. The team collectively has around 30 years’ experience within industry and as external advisors specialising in this space.
We assist reporting entities to understand their legislative obligations, reduce emissions and augment their strategic decision-making. We excel at navigating technically and legislatively complex problems, to ensure our clients are better informed and better prepared for the deep decarbonisation required to achieve Australia’s net zero future.
Our team are highly experienced with the Safeguard Mechanism, NGERs, the Emissions Reduction Fund, and industrial decarbonisation and strategy, with decades of experience working with some of Australia’s largest-emitting companies to achieve not only compliance but efficiencies, cost savings and deep emissions reduction.
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.
