ESG reporting · ASRS

ESG reporting starts with data your systems already hold

Mandatory climate reporting under the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards is being phased in for larger entities, and their suppliers are being asked for data too. Much of what you need sits in your ERP, accounting and operational systems. We help you find it, structure it and make it reportable.

Where we fit

We are not sustainability consultants or assurance providers, and we do not calculate your emissions or sign off your report. Those roles belong to specialists and your auditor. Our part is the data: the processes and systems that capture energy use, fuel, freight, purchases and other activity data, and the integrations and reports that get it to the people who need it, consistently and with an audit trail.

For background, read our guides to ASRS compliance, ESG reporting requirements and Scope 3 emissions.

What we help with

Data mapping

Identify where activity data lives today: supplier bills, fuel cards, utility invoices, freight systems, ERP purchase data and spreadsheets.

Process design

Agree who captures what, when, in which system, so the data is complete each period rather than chased at year end.

ERP configuration

Capture quantities and categories, not just dollars, on purchases and expenses, using fields, item groups and supplier classifications.

Integration and reporting

Bring data together from ERP, utilities and operational systems into a consistent dataset for your advisers and reporting tools.

Supplier data requests

Set up a repeatable way to answer customers' ESG questionnaires from your own records.

Controls and audit trail

Keep source documents linked and changes logged, so the numbers can be traced when assurance arrives.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is ASRS?

The Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards, issued by the AASB, set out climate-related financial disclosure requirements. Mandatory reporting is being phased in for larger entities, starting with the largest, and covers governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics including emissions.

We are a smaller business. Does this affect us?

Possibly indirectly. Larger customers reporting under ASRS may ask suppliers for emissions or activity data to support their Scope 3 reporting. Being able to answer those requests from your own systems is becoming a commercial requirement.

Do you calculate emissions or provide assurance?

No. We work on the data and systems side. Emissions calculation, reporting judgements and assurance should come from qualified sustainability advisers and your auditor, and we work alongside them.
