Mandatory ESG reporting and how Green Collect can help.
Mandatory ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations have generated an ongoing discourse within the Australian business sector, especially over the past financial year and into the upcoming one. As of September 2024, Australia’s financial regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), has implemented the new Regulatory Guide 280 (RG 280), creating mandatory climate reporting guidelines for public companies, large proprietary companies, and significant asset owners. These guidelines guarantee that companies disclose environmental risks, sustainability opportunities, and their greenhouse gas emissions.
The implementation of these regulations will be gradual, starting with companies that employ over 500 people, followed by medium-sized and smaller businesses in the years to come. As circular economy leaders and a sustainability-forward social enterprise, it is affirming to see this call for accurate reporting, accountability, and transparency from a governing organisation. Creating an ongoing environmental impact is at the heart of our work at Green Collect. We are excited for the opportunity to introduce more businesses into the circular economy, and have seen an uptick in organisations seeking our services because of our environmental work. We have always ensured that clients who use our office clean out services are aware of their impact, sending a report post-service to identify the breakdown of materials and the weight of resources diverted from landfills.
Our office clean out services not only enable offices to achieve their ESG targets but also provide an efficient way to declutter. This support is why many organisations choose our services during transitional periods, like moving, relocating, or downsizing. An office clean out from Green Collect can help to give clients a fresh start while advocating for the environment.
Green Collect’s office clean out and recovery services handle your furniture, IT equipment, and excess stationery, ensuring these resources are given a new outcome. Our team is deeply involved in this process, carefully assessing the functionality of each item by hand and using our hierarchical framework to reuse, repurpose, and recycle when necessary. Our goal is to make the most of every item, ensuring that no item is left behind in the process.
