Get climate reporting right

Climate disclosures are complex and challenging, and it will take time for organisations to fully embed the required changes to maximise the opportunities they present. Year two requirements will go even deeper.

KPMG’s latest podbite series has been developed to help boards and management teams get the right structures and processes in place to ensure  the next steps – quantification of financial impacts and transition planning – are front of mind. These are areas of strategic importance for your organisation.

These short clips feature KPMG New Zealand sustainability experts discussing important topics, ranging from areas to focus on, to setting organisations up for success and measuring the impact. There is also advice on how to ensure consistency with your financial statements.

The first episode, hosted by Sanel Tomlinson, KPMG Sustainable Value partner and KPMG IMPACT measurement and reporting lead, outlines a three-step plan for organisations to get started on their year two reporting. This podbite provides a clear explanation of the requirements for the year ahead and how to set a strategic direction for meaningful change. 

In episode two, Nick Swallow, Strategic Advisory Director, focuses on the principle of materiality as it pertains to the New Zealand Climate Standards. He outlines five tips when considering materiality as it applies to the climate statement as a whole.  

New podbite episodes will be added weekly to the KPMG website and shared on LinkedIn – follow KPMG New Zealand to get the latest episodes.

Throughout the podbites series, KPMG will be hosting intersecting webinars as an opportunity to explore the key themes a little deeper. To receive an invite to the webinar series, sign up to KPMG’s IMPACT mailing list here.
