The AASB S2 Readiness Checklist

Mandatory AASB S2 climate-related financial disclosures have commenced for Australian organisations, placing new expectations on boards and leadership teams to demonstrate readiness across governance, strategy, risk management and metrics. With the standard’s breadth and complexity, many organisations are unsure where to begin — making a clear, practical starting point essential.

The AASB S2 Readiness Checklist

Climate disclosure expectations are rising — fast.

AASB S2 introduces a new level of scrutiny around how organisations govern, manage and disclose climate-related risks and opportunities. For many leaders, the challenge isn’t recognising the importance — it’s knowing where to begin.

Without a clear baseline, organisations risk fragmented efforts, unclear accountability and last-minute remediation as reporting deadlines approach.

This checklist helps you move from uncertainty to clarity — quickly.

Inside the Checklist

You’ll gain:

  • Clarity on AASB S2 requirements
    Understand what the standard expects across governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.

  • A practical readiness assessment
    Use targeted, plain-English questions to benchmark your organisation’s current state.

  • Early visibility of gaps and risks
    Identify weaknesses in processes, controls, data and oversight before they become compliance issues.

  • A documented starting point
    Establish a clear baseline that supports planning, prioritisation and internal alignment.

  • Confidence to move forward
    Replace guesswork with a structured view of what’s in place — and what still needs attention.
