PREPARE NOW: The Australian Government's new mandatory climate-related financial disclosures are just around the corner, starting in FY 2025/26. This isn't just another compliance requirement—it's a major shift that could impact your organisation's future. Siddharth Bansal explains by 2025, public companies, larger NFPs, private entities, and government bodies must report on their climate-related risks, opportunities, and emissions across Scope 1, 2, and eventually Scope 3. Why act now? Preparing early ensures your business not only meets the new requirements but also leverages these changes for long-term benefits. Capital projects focused on energy efficiency and emissions reduction could turn this obligation into an opportunity, with potential paybacks through environmental certificates and grants. At Northmore Gordon, we specialise in helping businesses navigate these changes effectively. From executive workshops to energy audits and net zero roadmaps, we're here to ensure you're not just compliant but ahead of the curve. Don’t wait for 2025 to arrive—start taking action today.

These studies help companies make informed decisions and are often required when applying for grants or other forms of project finance. A well-executed feasibility study can unlock capital for major projects, enabling businesses to confidently move forward with installations or upgrades that otherwise might be delayed due to concerns over cost.
