Climate reporting is now mandatory. Yet, evidence is emerging that too many firms view it as a burdensome compliance exercise, to be conducted at least cost and least effort.
This completely misunderstands why it has been made mandatory - climate risk is real and you need to prepare. Associate Professor Ben Neville will draw upon climate expertise from across the University and overseas to explore what genuine climate readiness looks like at an organisational level.
The session covers the blind spots in current climate reporting guidance, including economic modelling, systemic risk and scenario analysis. We will address the real tension leaders face: balancing short-term individual firm action with longer-term collective climate impacts within uncertain geo-politics and competitive markets, to best manage climate risk for long-term business and societal value.
During the session, you'll gain a clearer understanding of the current trajectory of climate impact for individual firms, building credible climate reporting and capability across your organisation for long-term business value and resilience.
