📈 Some boards have been producing voluntary climate-related disclosures for several years, but the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards have necessitated a significant uplift for climate reporting entities. There are a lot of lessons that have been learned along the way. Our new report - Lessons from the front line - produced in collaboration with Chapter Zero New Zealand foundation partner KPMG New Zealand, shares guidance developed through conversations with those who have first-hand experience delivering climate statements for their organisations. Their advice aims to help other directors, whether captured by New Zealand’s climate-reporting regime or not, to better understand what is required and how to generate value from climate reporting.
