Transition Plan Assessment Tool
Helping clients to navigate the complex and evolving sustainability reporting landscape with a view to achieving their net zero ambitions. Our solution provides a comprehensive evaluation and actionable insights to inform compliance excellence and risk mitigation.
A proactive solution to help you develop a comprehensive and credible Transition Plan
A Transition Plan is integral to an entity’s overall strategy, setting out its plan to contribute to, and prepare for, a rapid global transition towards a low GHG-emissions economy.
Many organisations have made voluntary net zero commitments, but most have still to develop a transition plan to achieve these goals. Developing and publishing a transition plan helps companies to manage their climate risks, comply with regulations, demonstrate that directors have considered the environmental impacts of their decisions and, if credible, may mitigate greenwashing risks.
Implementing credible and comprehensive transition plans helps meet the increasing expectations of investors, regulators and stakeholders, enabling compliance with various sustainability frameworks and regulations. These frameworks and regulations include:
- the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD),
- UK Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR),
- European Green Deal, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD),
- the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD),
- mandatory climate reporting in Australia under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth),
- Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) Guidelines and the
- US Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) proposed rules, among others.
Ashurst's Transition Plan Assessment Tool has been designed in collaboration by our Legal, Risk and NewLaw experts to help support the delivery of net zero ambitions through comprehensive analysis, preparation, implementation and reviews of transition plans via a robust and consistent methodology.
