At SESG, we tailor disclosures to meet the full spectrum of sustainability reporting needs, from regulatory compliance through to stakeholder engagement. Our team is experienced in preparing reports aligned with frameworks such as IFRS/ESRS and AASB sustainability standards, GRI, SASB, and the UN SDGs, ensuring that your organisation meets both mandatory requirements and voluntary benchmarks. We also support the development of investor-focused reports that clearly communicate your ESG performance, risks, and opportunities in a way that builds confidence and trust.
We recognise that no two organisations have the same reporting priorities. That’s why we work closely with you to craft disclosures that balance compliance with communication. Whether you need a visually engaging, externally facing sustainability statement that showcases your achievements, or a concise, compliance-focused disclosure aligned to your financial statements, we help create the right narrative to tell your story and meet stakeholder expectations.

Our Reporting & Disclosure Process
Comprehensive and Streamlined
01
Collaborate, Align, Structure
As an initial step, we work closely with you to structure the report so it aligns with both the sustainability standards being adopted and your organisation’s broader sustainability strategy.
This collaborative approach ensures the report framework is relevant, coherent, and reflective of your priorities while meeting external requirements.
02
Collect, Analyse, Interpret
We collect and organise relevant data and information in alignment with your organisation’s operations and chosen reporting frameworks.
This information is then analysed to identify key insights, highlight year-on-year trends, and ensure accuracy.
03
Bringing Insights to Life
As the next step, we craft the narrative by combining data insights with the agreed structure to clearly demonstrate progress and impact.
We weave in case studies and examples to highlight meaningful initiatives, bringing the report to life in a way that supports your strategy, engages stakeholders, and showcases achievements alongside future ambitions.
04
Review, Verify, Refine
Once the draft report is prepared, we move into a validation and refinement stage, working closely with your team to review the content.
This includes internal verification checks to ensure accuracy and consistency, as well as an assessment of potential greenwashing risks to safeguard credibility and strengthen stakeholder trust.
05
Design, Approve, Publish
In the final stage, we focus on design, formatting, and overall presentation to ensure your report is clear, engaging, and aligned with your brand.
We incorporate visuals, case studies, and data displays to bring the narrative to life, while ensuring accessibility and compliance with reporting standards.
Proven Outcomes in Reporting & Disclosure
Case Study: Luxury Cruise Company – Sustainability Impact Report
We partnered with a global luxury cruise company to deliver their second Sustainability Impact Report, evolving and strengthening the foundations established in their first report. The 2025 edition was designed to meet the needs of investors, structured to align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and began the transition towards the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) to prepare for upcoming regulatory requirements.
Working closely with the company’s international teams across multiple regions, we extrapolated complex ESG data and translated it into a compelling, accessible, and visually engaging report. This evolution not only showcased progress against material sustainability issues but also provided investors with transparent, credible insights, reinforcing the company’s commitment to responsible growth and long-term value creation.
Case Study: Dual-Listed Mining Company – Sustainability Reporting Transition
We supported a Hong Kong and ASX-listed mining company in the evolution of their sustainability reporting approach. While they had traditionally reported against GRI disclosures, the company sought to align its reporting with a revised sustainability framework and begin transitioning toward a SASB- and AASB-aligned narrative to meet emerging investor and regulatory expectations.
Our role was to maintain the integrity of key voluntary sustainability disclosures while restructuring the report to present a compelling, standards-aligned story for external stakeholders. At the same time, we worked with the business to ensure the report served an internal purpose, highlighting case studies that showcased how teams across the organisation contribute to sustainability performance. This dual focus strengthened credibility with investors while motivating employees by connecting their work to broader sustainability outcomes.
Case Study: Power Station – AASB S2 Climate Disclosures Dry Run Report
We partnered with a power station operator to prepare an early dry run sustainability report against the AASB S2 disclosure standards. The objective was to assess current readiness, identify shortfalls, and provide clear insights into the organisation’s ability to meet upcoming regulatory requirements.
Through this process, we highlighted gaps across governance, risk management, and disclosure practices, while recognising existing strengths. The outcome was a practical roadmap for future compliance, giving the business confidence in its next steps and a clear plan to build capability ahead of mandatory reporting. This proactive approach positioned the company to respond effectively to regulatory change.
What reporting standard should I use?
When it comes to reporting standards, there are many to choose from and selecting the right ones for your organisation is important. Factors affecting selection can include compliance obligations such as reporting in line with the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), investor expectations, resource availability and your company’s level of appetite for disclosing sustainability-related information. It may be that your organisation uses a mix of standards to satisfy varying requirements. A good place to start is to think about the key drivers for your organisation to develop a sustainability report.
What is the difference between the GRI and SASB reporting standards?
The two standards are similar in that they both provide a structured framework for disclosure of sustainability related issues. The key difference between the two is that GRI focuses on the broader societal and environmental impacts whereby SASB is more focused on financially material sustainability related information that is relevant to investors. GRI reporting is intended for a wider range of stakeholders whereas SASB is primarily focused on investors and providers of financial capital.
What are the benefits of using voluntary reporting standards?
Using voluntary reporting standards that go beyond your current obligation, provides structure and demonstrates an enhanced level of sustainability assurance, setting your company apart from its peers. Increased reporting reassures suppliers, investors, and customers with validated reports and transparency, strengthening trust and setting the standard.
