A recent governance study by the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) showed that more directors are prioritising climate governance. A growing number of directors regard it as a critical risk, with over 60% believing that their Boards should pay more attention to it.
What is it?
We provide advice on sustainability governance, including the development of ESG committees. We conduct governance reviews to assess the roles, responsibilities, processes and identify any gaps and support with policy development and communication.
What are the benefits?
Embedding climate and sustainability at the Board level provides greater oversight and accountability across the organisation. It brings a strategic focus to climate considerations which is especially important given the long-term nature of transition planning and competing stakeholder priorities.
