See Overview

Sustainability reporting
Following the introduction of mandatory sustainability reporting requirements in Australia, organisations will need to understand if they are required to report, the disclosure requirements, and if they have the skill set and available data to comply. We can guide organisations through the reporting process end-to-end, from climate-related risks and opportunities identification through to reporting support.
Sustainability advisory
With the ESG and sustainability landscape continuing to evolve, we are focused on helping your business to understand how to shape your sustainability strategy. When designing a sustainability strategy, it’s important to take into consideration your sustainability-related risks and opportunities, relevant standards and frameworks such as the SBTi, and your broader business needs.
Sustainability assurance
The sustainability reporting regulations which have come into force in Australia include assurance requirements which are being phased in over several years. Australia is also the first jurisdiction internationally to adopt the new assurance standard. Whether you are seeking voluntary assurance or meeting your compliance obligations, our sustainability assurance team combines technical expertise and industry insights to provide quality and efficiency in the assurance process.
ESG due diligence
As ESG and Sustainability-related considerations are becoming pivotal for Australian dealmakers, it is important for investors to feel confident in assessing transactions through an ESG lens. The due diligence process evaluates a company's material environmental, social, and governance topics during the pre-investment phase, flagging risks and identifying opportunities for added value.
