Webinar | Making the case: Why sustainability should matter to CEOs and Boards

In this webinar, our experts examine the rapidly changing ESG and sustainability landscape and how expectations on CEOs and Boards have intensified. They discuss the new mandatory sustainability reporting requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB S2 Climate-related Disclosures, and explore how shifting stakeholder expectations have reshaped governance, strategy and accountability. The session highlighted the risks that organisations face if they fall behind, and clarified what directors need to understand to strengthen oversight in a changing regulatory environment.
