The Australian Steel Institute (ASI) is proud to offer a must-attend webinar on the new mandatory climate-related reporting requirements tailored specifically for the Australian steel sector. Delivered by leading climate and sustainability consultancy Pangolin Associates this session will unpack the new Mandatory Climate-related Disclosure requirements under AASB 2 and explore the latest developments in voluntary sustainability reporting, both of which are rapidly reshaping the landscape for steel businesses. 

Recent amendments to the Corporations Act now require medium and large enterprises to publish Annual Sustainability Reports, detailing climate-related risks and opportunities. This includes mandatory disclosure of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

But the road ahead demands even more:

  • From FY27, large organisations (Group 1) must also report Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions across the entire supply chain.
  • These changes will have far-reaching implications for steel producers, processors, and suppliers—making early preparation essential.

This insightful session will be presented by Manny Vassal, Anneke Smits and Sarah Diefenbach from Pangolin Associates, experienced consultants in carbon reporting, decarbonisation, and corporate sustainability. Their expertise will help you navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and align your business with emerging stakeholder expectations.

Whether you're a sustainability officer, compliance manager, or executive in the steel industry, this webinar is your chance to:

  • Understand the regulatory shifts and what they mean for your operations
  • Learn how to future-proof your business against compliance risks
  • Gain practical insights into Scope 3 readiness and supply chain transparency

What is included:

  • All parts of the webinar are pre-recorded, on-demand videos. There will be approximately one hour of content.
  • The webinar will be available to view at your own pace over a 6 week period September to October 2025. 
  • Access the videos and notes via the ASI website by logging into your dashboard.
  • You can post questions which will be forwarded to the presenter to answer in a later Q&A session which will also be available to view on-demand.
  • A personalised learning experience that maintains a structured self-paced learning approach.
  • A PDF copy of the PowerPoint presentations available to view in your ASI dashboard.

What you can expect:

  • The Regulatory Shift: Mandatory Climate-Related Disclosures 
  • Who is reporting and when
  • What are the key reporting requirements
  • The ‘trickle-down’ effect (impact from larger entities to smaller ones)
  • Scope 3 and the role of the supply chain
  • Key steps to take now for Group 1, 2 and 3 organisations to prepare for MCR
  • How fabricators, manufacturers, distributors and engineers can prepare for the shift towards a sustainable Australian steel sector

Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and lead the steel sector toward a more sustainable future.
