Brief a sustainability report in WA

Australia’s mandatory climate reporting is being phased in.

The new sustainability reporting regime applies to entities that already prepare an annual financial report under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act and meet specified size, emissions or asset thresholds. It does not apply to every company or charity.

Reports include climate-related governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets under AASB S2. We turn approved content into a clear, accessible report in Western Australia, ready for review, assurance and publication.

  2. Group 21 July 2026Financial years beginning on or after this date
  3. Group 31 July 2027Financial years beginning on or after this date

Small proprietary companies without Chapter 2M reporting obligations and registered charities not required to prepare a Chapter 2M annual financial report are outside this regime. Australia has about 65,000 registered charities, but that is sector context, not the number covered by mandatory climate disclosure.

Accreditations and standards

Accredited, audited and lodgement ready.

What does your sustainability report need to solve in Western Australia?

  • Do your report figures match what you report under NGER?

    We design charts from your approved figures only, and footnote the method and base year so the published report lines up with your submitted data.

  • Do your Scope 1 and 2 charts compare fairly with your base year?

    One chart system, one base year and one set of units across the whole report, with any restatement called out rather than hidden.

  • Can community and staff find your key results quickly?

    A highlights spread near the front carries the numbers both audiences ask about, before the technical appendices begin.

How we design sustainability reports for Western Australia.

01

Structure before style

We map your content into a clear flow first: overview, highlights, goals, progress and index. Readers get to the point quickly.

02

Data that reads at a glance

Emissions, energy, waste, water and people metrics turned into consistent, honest charts that compare year on year.

03

Accessible and review-friendly

Tagged WCAG 2.1 AA PDF, clear labelling of assured figures and a content index your reviewers can follow.

Sustainability report design in Western Australia

We design sustainability and impact reports for organisations across Western Australia. Many WA reports carry heavy emissions and energy data, so our job is to turn it into honest charts a non-specialist reader can follow without losing the detail your technical reviewers need. Reviews run on AWST.

Voluntary reporting, not mandatory disclosure

Most Western Australia organisations we work with publish a voluntary sustainability, impact or community report using GRI Standards, the UN SDGs or their own goal framework. That is what this page is about. If your obligation is mandatory climate disclosure under AASB S2, our ESG report design service is the better fit, and we design both from one system when you need them to match.

What you receive

A sustainability report design system that matches your brand, custom infographics and data charts, a tagged accessible PDF, print-ready files and, if needed, web pages or a microsite. Social tiles and a one-page summary can be added for launch.

Sustainability report design in Western Australia.

Answers before you brief us.

Do you work with WA organisations?
Yes. We work remotely and book reviews on AWST.
Can you show NGER data in the report?
Yes. We design charts from your approved figures and footnote the method and base year.
How much does a sustainability report cost?
Most sit between AUD $12,000 and $30,000 depending on page count, the number of charts and the formats you need. You receive a fixed fee in writing within 48 hours.
Is a sustainability report the same as a mandatory climate report?
No. A sustainability or impact report is voluntary and speaks to your whole community. Mandatory AASB S2 climate reporting applies only to entities that must prepare Chapter 2M financial reports and meet the size, emissions or asset thresholds. We design both, and we recommend confirming your obligations with a qualified adviser.
Is the report accessible?
Yes. Every report includes a tagged PDF built to WCAG 2.1 AA, with alt text, reading order and colour contrast checked before delivery.
