So how is AASB S2 going for your organisation ?
No AASB S2 compliance is not just ESG reporting. This is financial-grade, board-accountable disclosure under AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures.
If it’s not defensible, it doesn’t go out.
Climate-related Disclosures is now a board responsibility. It must be auditable and linked to financials. It’s not a report, it’s how the business is run. Most companies underestimated this.
What does your Business need to cover ?
Governance Board oversight, clear accountability, documented decision-making. If the board can’t explain it, you fail.
Strategy Real risks and opportunities, real business impact, scenario analysis. If it’s generic, it’s useless.
Risk Management Defined process, scoring, controls, integration with core risk systems. If it’s not structured, it doesn’t count.
- Metrics & Targets
Scope 1 and 2 emissions are mandatory. Scope 3 if material. KPIs, targets, and actual performance. If the data is weak, everything fails.
What is really required ?
Governance the board understands. IROs linked to strategy. Structured risk management. Reliable emissions data. Clear link to financial impact.
Lessons from the first Year
No real governance ownership at board level. Strategy not linked to climate risks. Risk registers disconnected or superficial. Emissions data sitting in spreadsheets. No scenario modelling capability. No linkage to financial statements. Weak audit trail and no defensibility.
That’s the reality and that’s exactly where the opportunity sits.
