Abstract
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is a critical aspect of corporate strategy influencing investor confidence and stakeholder trust worldwide. As global markets move towards standardized ESG disclosure and assurance frameworks, Australia must navigate the evolving regulatory landscape while maintaining competitiveness. Our research benchmarks ASX 100 firms against three key international comparators: the Asia-Pacific region, major global economies, and leading mining jurisdictions. By evaluating ESG performance and disclosure practices across these regions, this study provides insights into Australia’s relative strengths and areas for improvement.
