Starting January 2025, Australian companies will be required to disclose climate-related financial information under the newly passed Treasury Law Amendment Bill. This legislation mandates transparency on how businesses manage climate risks and opportunities, aligning with international standards and enhancing accountability to consumers, investors, and regulators.
