Climate risk reporting and disclosure are critical to business continuity and resilience – and to the mission of keeping our planet at or below 1.5 degrees of warming. In Australia, they’ll soon also be a legal requirement.

But organisations that treat them as siloed ‘box ticking’ compliance exercises could be missing major opportunities to create value and accelerate their transition.

In this whitepaper, Susan McHattie and Stella Whittaker introduce a new performance approach to climate risk management, and explore the impact it can have on the organisations and stakeholders invested in climate transition.

Inside you’ll discover:

Best practices for robust, value-creating climate risk reporting
What different stakeholders need from your climate risk reporting, and how to deliver it
How a performance approach can help you go beyond compliance and turn risk insight into valuable, timely actions
