Question 1

What are the ASRS (Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards)?

Accepted Answer

The ASRS are mandatory climate-related financial disclosure standards introduced by the Australian Government, effective from 1 January 2025 for large entities. Based on the ISSB framework, ASRS S1 covers general sustainability disclosures and ASRS S2 covers climate-related disclosures. Large companies (over $500M revenue) must report first, with medium and smaller entities phased in over subsequent years. Our AI platform automates data collection and report generation to meet ASRS requirements with minimal manual effort.

Question 2

What are our obligations under the NGER Act?

Accepted Answer

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 requires corporations that meet certain thresholds to report their greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and energy production annually to the Clean Energy Regulator. The corporate threshold is 50 kilotonnes of CO₂-equivalent emissions or 200 terajoules of energy consumed or produced. Our AI continuously monitors your emissions against these thresholds and auto-generates NGER-compliant reports, ensuring you never miss a deadline or misreport a figure.

Question 3

How do carbon credit markets work in Australia?

Accepted Answer

Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) are issued by the Clean Energy Regulator for verified emissions reduction or sequestration projects. Each ACCU represents one tonne of CO₂-equivalent avoided or removed. Businesses can generate ACCUs through eligible projects (reforestation, soil carbon, energy efficiency) or purchase them on the secondary market to offset residual emissions. Our platform tracks your offsets portfolio, monitors ACCU prices, and recommends cost-effective offset strategies aligned with your science-based targets.

Question 4

What is the Safeguard Mechanism and does it affect us?

Accepted Answer

The reformed Safeguard Mechanism requires Australia's largest industrial emitters (facilities producing over 100,000 tonnes CO₂-e per year, approximately 215 facilities) to reduce their net emissions by 4.9% annually. Even if your facility is below the threshold, supply chain pressure from Safeguard-covered entities increasingly flows downstream. Our AI monitors your position relative to the threshold and models future exposure as baselines tighten, helping you prepare well before compliance becomes mandatory.

Question 5

How does AI detect greenwashing risks?

Accepted Answer

Our AI scans your public-facing sustainability claims against your actual emissions data, offset portfolio, and reduction trajectory. It flags statements that could be considered misleading under the ACCC's updated greenwashing guidelines (December 2023), such as claiming "carbon neutral" without verified offsets, using vague language like "eco-friendly" without substantiation, or cherry-picking favourable metrics while ignoring unfavourable ones. This protects your brand from enforcement action and consumer backlash.

Question 6

What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

Accepted Answer

Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) and Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are tradeable certificates under the Renewable Energy Target scheme. Each LGC represents one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity generated by an accredited power station. Businesses with obligations under the RET must surrender certificates annually, while voluntary buyers can purchase LGCs to claim renewable energy use. Our platform tracks your REC portfolio, monitors prices, and optimises your purchasing strategy.

Question 7

How does AI help with Modern Slavery reporting?

Accepted Answer

The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) requires entities with annual consolidated revenue over $100 million to publish annual Modern Slavery Statements. Our AI maps your supply chain, flags high-risk jurisdictions and industries (using the Walk Free Foundation's Global Slavery Index data), and generates the mandatory statement template. It also monitors supplier compliance, tracks remediation actions, and benchmarks your statement against industry peers and the guidance issued by the Australian Border Force.

Question 8

What supply chain due diligence does the AI perform?

Accepted Answer

Our AI conducts automated due diligence across your Scope 3 supply chain by analysing supplier questionnaire responses, public disclosures, industry benchmarks, and satellite imagery where relevant. It calculates estimated Scope 3 emissions using the GHG Protocol's spend-based, activity-based, and hybrid methods, then identifies emission hotspots and recommends supplier engagement strategies. The system also tracks deforestation risk using real-time satellite data aligned with the EU Deforestation Regulation (which increasingly affects Australian exporters).
