Thought Leadership Series: Climate Reporting Obligations – What Asset Owners and Asset Managers Need to Know – and Do

Most Australians rely on investment and superannuation funds to safeguard their financial futures. With new climate reporting obligations rolling out across the country, these organisations must not only comply with regulations for transparency on climate-related risks and opportunities, but must also strengthen their approaches to data sourcing, ownership and governance. Effectively managing and verifying the accuracy of climate-related data is now critical, as these changes influence how funds structure governance, oversee risk management and ensure robust disclosures in the Australian market.

Australia’s climate reporting regime requires asset owners and asset managers to report on their exposure to climate risks and how these risks are managed, with a particular emphasis on the integrity of the underlying data. Mandatory disclosures now need to be aligned with international standards, covering areas such as scenario analysis, emissions data and transition strategies—making it essential for organisations to establish clear processes for data collection, define ownership of metrics, and maintain strong governance frameworks. 

Join us to hear from a super fund, technology provider and a climate risk consultant who will discuss the practical impacts of the new reporting obligations.

Attendees will leave with:

• A clear understanding of what climate reporting will require from 2026
  
• Practical insights into how funds are approaching readiness today
  
• Guidance on operating models, data governance and assurance
• A stronger grasp of risk, liability and due diligence expectations
