SUSTAINABILITY READINESS DIAGNOSTIC

Find out exactly where you stand - in weeks, not months

Mandatory climate reporting is phasing in, and big customers are already pushing emissions questions down their supply chains. The Readiness Diagnostic is a rapid, fixed-fee assessment that tells you whether you are caught by the rules, what your customers will ask for, and what getting ready would actually take.  

Three questions every mid-sized manufacturer now faces

Do the rules capture us?

Australia's climate reporting regime (AASB S2) phases in by company size. Meet two of three thresholds $50M revenue, $25M assets 100 employees and reporting becomes law

What will customers ask for?

Large reporters must count their suppliers' emissions as their own Scope 3. Their questionnaires arrive whether or not the mandate applies to you.

How long do we have?

Size is assessed at your financial year end. By the time you know you're caught, the reporting year is already over. Readiness must come first.

Who is this for?

  • Medium-sized Australian manufacturers, typically $40M - $100M revenue with 50-200 employees, who:

  • Sit near the reporting thresholds and want a definitive answer, not a guess

  • Supply builders, retailers, Government or major corporates who already report under AASB S2

  • Are seeing sustainability criteria appear in tenders and prequalification surveys

  • Have little or no emissions data today and want to know what closing the gap takes
