How to Comply with Australia’s 2025 Mandatory Climate Disclosure Laws: A Simple Guide for Businesses

From 1 January 2025, Australia's largest companies will be legally required to disclose their climate-related financial risks and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If your business isn’t ready, the risk of fines, reputational damage, and lost opportunities is real. This guide explains everything you need to know — and how SustainaPass can help you stay ahead.

What Are Australia’s New Mandatory Climate Disclosure Laws?

The Australian Treasury is introducing a phased rollout of mandatory sustainability reporting, aligned with global standards such as the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board).

Key requirements:

  • Report Scope 1, Scope 2, and some Scope 3 emissions.

  • Disclose climate-related financial risks and opportunities.

  • Demonstrate how climate risks are integrated into governance, strategy, and financial planning.

Most mid-sized and large Australian businesses will need to comply within 2 years.

What Needs to Be Reported?

Businesses must report on:

  • Scope 1 emissions: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.

  • Scope 2 emissions: Indirect emissions from purchased energy.

  • Scope 3 emissions (partial): Emissions from supply chains and value chains.

  • Climate risk management: How you assess and mitigate climate-related risks.

  • Targets and Transition Plans: Your strategy to move toward Net Zero.
