Understand Australia’s proposed bill on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures

Australia’s proposed bill on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures is part of the country’s broader sustainable finance framework and net-zero commitment. It marks a shift from decades of voluntary corporate sustainability reporting to a mandatory structure. The proposed bill would increase disclosure requirements for companies already covered by the existing National Energy Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act and mandate disclosure requirements for SMEs not covered by previous regulations.
