In response to the pressing global climate crisis, the Australian government has rolled out new Climate Change legislation, placing greater responsibility on businesses to minimise their environmental impact. The urgency to adopt sustainable practices has never been clearer, with upcoming legislation mandating climate-related financial disclosures for businesses. While large listed entities feel the initial pressure of mandatory reporting, small and medium businesses collaborating with them are also gearing up to provide transparent data on their environmental impact. It's not just a compliance issue; it will increasingly become a condition of being able to work with large organisations. One pivotal strategy is the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS), with the ISO 14001 framework emerging as a guiding force. Our latest article explores the critical role of Environmental Management Systems in transforming business operations and how organisations are using an EMS to become more sustainable and environmentally conscious.

#ESG News: In a further blow to ‘carbon neutral’ claims, the ACCC has confirmed it has not certified Australia’s carbon neutral certification program – Climate Active – due to an inability to clarify the scheme’s rules. The scheme was referred to the ACCC by The Australia Institute, with climate and energy director Polly Hemming saying the fact companies were using the certification with no formal approval may amount to greenwashing. The ACCC’s assessment of the scheme has been paused while the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water finalises a review of the program. Full story here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpEFDm9N   As we wrote in our blog earlier in the year, the days of carbon neutral claims via carbon offsets may be numbered due to a lack of trust.

An environmental obligation, particularly in the context of carbon footprint, refers to the responsibility the organizations have to minimize their impact on the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Are you aware of your Carbon Footprint?

Last week witnessed a significant stride in corporate environmental accountability as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) disclosed results from participating companies. These revelations provide a detailed overview of organisations' carbon emissions, climate-related risks, and mitigation strategies. Investors and stakeholders eagerly analyse this data, assessing companies' commitment to sustainability and climate action. The released CDP results not only empower informed decision-making but also serve as a catalyst for heightened corporate responsibility. As the world grapples with the urgency of climate change, these disclosures propel a collective effort towards transparency, fostering a business landscape that prioritises carbon reduction and sustainable practices for a greener future. Oakdene Hollins are proud to have supported companies in their submissions to CDP, and actions to improve climate action in relation to CDP. If you are looking to improve your CDP rating following on from the released results or would like support in the next upcoming CDP submission, get in touch. #carbondisclosure #carbon #cdp #environmentalaccountability #sustainablility #sustainable #sustainabilityconsultancy #sustainabilityconsultants #circulareconomyconsultants #circulareconomy #esg #esgconsulting https://lnkd.in/gZP3UZC

🔑 The European Council recently approved the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), overcoming earlier setbacks and revisions to mandate large companies to address their adverse impacts on human rights and the environment within their supply chains. 🎯 Proposed by the European Commission in 2022, the directive aims to tackle issues like child labor, pollution, and deforestation while aligning businesses with the Paris Agreement's climate goals. Despite initial concerns from member states like Germany and Italy, the revised CSDDD, approved in March, reduces the number of affected companies by raising thresholds and implements a phased approach for compliance, starting with larger corporations in 2027 and extending to others by 2029. 🌲 Though some provisions, such as financial incentives for climate transition plans, were removed, the directive stands as a significant measure in promoting corporate responsibility and sustainability within the EU. ⬇ Read more about this in our latest article in the comments below!
