This article is based on the second podcast in our series examining the preparations Australian business need to make for disclosures under the new mandatory climate-related financial reporting scheme. The focus of the podcast is transition plans - the work businesses need to do to turn their climate and net zero strategy into a detailed plan that demonstrates how the business will respond to a changing climate and decarbonising economy. The conversation was led by Andy Tipping, partner, Gene...
In this episode, we'll speak to the crucial topic of materiality and the challenge of determining the climate impacts that are, and are not, financially material to ASRS disclosures.
The third in our series discussing the guidance produced by the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, we examine the pillar of risk management and the issues we see for businesses working to understand, manage and disclose their climate risks. The size and scale of the challenge can be daunting but, as raised and discussed, “Organisations can’t stand still while the world changes around them. Leaders need to understand that you can take decisions today that will help steer you o...
There's no doubt that electricity markets across Australia are in the midst of a profound transformation with aging coal and gas fire generation leaving the market, and being replaced by large scale solar and wind capacity. The pace and scale of this change has and will continue to be rapid with various ambitious state targets further accelerating the transition. In our latest podcast, Energetics’ energy market experts Mark Asbjerg, Anita Stadler and Gilles Walgenwitz discuss the implications...

Australia has extraordinary renewable energy resources. Parts of Australia are already experiencing some of the highest levels of wind and solar generation in the world, including one of the highest levels of small (residential) distributed solar photovoltaic systems. In recognition of the opportunity they present and the need to carefully manage the penetration of renewable resources into the National Electricity Market (NEM), the Australian Electricity Market Operator (AEMO) conducted the R...
In a year in which we’ve heard the word ‘unprecedented’ used many times, risk management is front and centre for organisations; particularly how they identify and prepare for large scale, high impact, business disruptions. The reality of our changing climate – and what we are doing about it – was highlighted with the devastating bushfires in Australia and the US. But while climate risk issues have been vigorously discussed in the past, they have not perhaps always been robustly addressed. The...

The conversation is guided by Energetics' strategy and policy services lead, Sally Cook. Featuring: Matt Spr...

In this podcast we discu...
