ESG Legislation & Reporting

In this report we bring awareness to the the latest sustainability legislation enacted in Australia; the Treasury Laws Bill 2024:Climate-related financial disclosure.

Thought leadership from two of Deloitte’s Sustainability partners brings insights to why this is not only an important inflection point in Australia’s regulatory history but also how this transition should not stifle innovation in the built environment. 

The report provides practical ideas from our SDP Roundtable for what businesses can do now, this included: ​

  • Shifting ESG from the fringe to core ways of working and the mainstream

  • Focusing on transparency and quality in the data to ensure greenwashing does not occur ​

  • Upskilling at the industry, government and regulator level
