As regulatory frameworks like the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS) evolve, mining companies face increasing demands for transparency in climate-related impacts. This workshop will equip participants with strategies to address complex disclosure requirements, align operations with net-zero goals, and ensure compliance with emerging global standards. 

1:45-2:15 A Quick Guide for Miners on New Climate and Disclosure Standards 

• Understanding ASRS and AASB S2 Requirements - what climate information needs to be disclosed and where; and how miners can prepare
• What are the most common pitfalls mining companies face when trying to meet climate-related disclosure requirements, and how can they be avoided?
• Integrating climate metrics with financial reporting: Learn how sustainability data and financial metrics are converging to meet regulatory demands.
• Leveraging technology for transparency: Harness AI and digital tools for supply chain visibility, predictive emissions analysis, and compliance tracking.
