Project description

Proposed changes to mandatory ESG reporting mean finance professionals must upskill to be literate in sustainability reporting in an era of increased climate risk. Moving towards net zero, many Australian businesses are on the path to addressing climate risk. Amidst the proposed introduction of mandatory ESG reporting in Australia, many Chief Financial Officers are grappling with a critical challenge: seamlessly integrating finance and sustainability teams. According to Global Green Skills Report 2023 by LinkedIn, the share of green talent in the workforce rose by a median of 12.3 per cent. However, the growth in demand for green skills is outpacing the increase in supply, and it�s clear that more skilled professional accountants and finance experts are needed in this space.
