Elevate Your Manufacturing Legacy

Australia is steering its manufacturing sector towards a greener future with an emissions reduction target of 43% by 2030 (below 2005 levels), culminating in net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors by 2050

The Treasury Laws Amendment (Financial Market Infrastructure and Other Measures) Bill 2024 is now before Parliament. From as early as January 2025, mandatory climate reporting is expected to become an integral part of the manufacturing landscape. It is proposed that businesses which meet two of the three reporting obligation thresholds, will need to disclose their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, with assurance demands growing over time.

While these thresholds may not apply to you, do they apply to your clients? Your clients will be looking at you and your emissions as part of their Scope 3 financial disclosure.  So, it’s time to get serious.

We have seen already large businesses begin reducing their Scope 3 emissions by pushing emissions reduction targets on to their suppliers. The upcoming climate-related financial disclosure requirements will increase supply chain emissions scrutiny.

Leading manufacturers are making bold commitments to reduce supplier Scope 3 emissions, many aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These manufacturers are joining a global movement, grounded in the latest climate science, aiming to limit global warming to 1.5°C. To achieve this, GHG emissions must halve by 2030 and hit net-zero by 2050.  

As an energy intensive business, it is time to create a strategy to manage new and tighter energy and emissions disclosure responsibilities. Have you set an emissions baseline? Have you explored new technologies to improve your energy productivity and reduce carbon emissions? If you’re not there yet, you don’t have to tackle these big new challenges alone.
