SBC Spotlight Series: Transition planning – applying the XRB guidance to climate change strategy and implementation

Transition planning is crucial for climate-related disclosures and for the financial resilience of a business’s overall strategy. Through transition planning, you can monitor signals and identify decision trigger points, strategically allocate resources, and take tangible actions to address your risks, opportunities, and impacts from climate change.

Transition planning guidance was recently issued by the Sustainable Business Council (SBC), in partnership with the External Reporting Board (XRB) with support from Aurecon. WSP, Chapman Tripp and Westpac gave pre-release review and feedback.

Join SBC and WSP for a panel discussion and Q&A with:

• Matt Raeburn, Asia-Pacific Climate Disclosures lead, WSP
• Jenika Phipps, Manager, Climate Related Disclosures, FMA
• Jeremie Madamour, Principal Advisor Climate Change & Sustainability Reporting, XRB
• Kate Wilson Butler, Director – Climate, Sustainability & ESG, Chapman Tripp

This session will cover the SBC’s and XRB’s ‘Guidance for staff’ who lead transition planning internally, helping to execute a practical transition work programme.
