Checklist of key legal requirements for companies and directors that arise in dealing with climate-related ESG risks
The way in which a company identifies and addresses ESG risks has direct implications for its compliance (and its directors’ compliance) with various legal requirements.
The disclosure and management of climate-related risk is a key director responsibility and is essential for prudent and diligent companies that understand the need to minimise and address their ESG risks.
ESG covers a broad range of themes which include climate-related risks, although the checklist focuses just on the key legal requirements that arise for companies and directors in the context of addressing climate-related risks. This includes legal requirements under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) and Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (Cth) (ASIC Act).
