Free 10-minute diagnostic · Built for Australian businesses
Climate reporting is just the loudest deadline. Modern slavery statements, customer ESG questionnaires, B Corp, CDP — sustainability reporting arrives from many directions, and most tools only cover one. This diagnostic looks at all of it: which obligations and pressures apply to your business, what data you need, and where to start.
Climate (AASB S2): Group 2 starts 1 July 2026 — this month; Group 3 (100+ staff or $50M revenue) starts 1 July 2027. · Modern Slavery statements: already mandatory at $100M+ revenue. · Suppliers to big companies: ESG questionnaires are already arriving.
Does this apply to you?
Australia's mandatory climate reporting standard (AASB S2) applies in waves. Group 3 — companies meeting two of: $50M+ revenue, $25M+ assets, 100+ employees — must report for financial years starting 1 July 2027. Your first report covers that year's data, so the systems have to exist before the year begins.
Large reporters must disclose emissions across their supply chain ("Scope 3"). That means their suppliers — including businesses far below the thresholds — are receiving emissions questionnaires as a condition of staying on the panel. If a big customer has asked you for carbon data, this is why.
The Modern Slavery Act already requires annual statements from $100M+ revenue entities. B Corp, CDP and tender requirements add more. Voluntary today has a way of becoming contractual tomorrow — getting your data foundations right once beats redoing them under deadline.
What you will receive
Mandatory, customer-driven, or voluntary — based on your size, industry, geography and who is asking you to report.
The specific items, not "everything ESG" — so you start collecting the right things rather than everything at once.
Matched to your timeline, what is driving your reporting need, and how much you have already done.
Every framework explained by what it actually requires and why it matters to you — before you brief a consultant or buy software.

No sign-up, no form — just click and begin.
Your size, who is asking you to report, what they have asked for, and your timeline. No technical knowledge needed.

Many businesses take it straight to their accountant or board. That is the point.
Why we built this
Sustainability reporting advice in Australia is written for two audiences: ASX-listed compliance teams, and sustainability professionals. If you're a CFO or operations lead at a mid-size business, you've been left to reverse-engineer your obligations from legislation and consultants' brochures — and most software tools only cover climate. Impact Output looks at the whole picture and translates it into what it actually means for businesses your size.
For advisers
If you advise clients on sustainability reporting, B Corp, ESG or climate disclosure, we are building tools to support client intake, evidence gathering and adviser briefing — designed to complement your work, not compete with it.
After the diagnostic
The diagnostic tells you what applies. The sprint gets you ready. Over ten days we confirm your exact obligations, map the evidence you already have against what's required, and hand you a practical, prioritised plan — adviser-ready and board-ready — before you commit to software or consultants.
Where it helps, AI is used to speed up review and drafting — always with full human oversight and editorial control.
Common questions
AASB S2 is Australia's mandatory climate-related financial disclosure standard. It requires in-scope companies to report climate risks, opportunities, governance and greenhouse gas emissions alongside their annual financial report, in waves from January 2025 (largest companies) through July 2027 (Group 3).
You're in Group 3 — reporting from financial years starting 1 July 2027 — if you meet at least two of: consolidated revenue of $50 million or more, gross assets of $25 million or more, 100 or more employees. Larger thresholds apply to Groups 1 and 2, which start earlier. Below the thresholds, you may still be asked for emissions data by customers who must report their supply chain.
Not necessarily. Large reporters must disclose supply-chain (Scope 3) emissions, and they obtain that data from suppliers. If your customers include big companies, expect emissions questionnaires — and increasingly, tender and contract conditions tied to them.
Scope 1: emissions you produce directly (fuel, company vehicles, processes). Scope 2: emissions from the electricity you buy. Scope 3: everything up and down your value chain — suppliers, logistics, product use. Scope 3 is the hard one, and it's why big reporters are contacting their suppliers.
Now. Your first report covers your first full financial year from 1 July 2027 — so data collection systems need to be working before that year starts. Most businesses need 6–12 months to get there.
No — that's the point. Most reporting tools cover climate only. This diagnostic also covers Modern Slavery Act statements (mandatory at $100M+ consolidated revenue), major retailer ESG questionnaires (Coles and Woolworths supplier programs), B Corp, CDP, GRI, TCFD/ISSB alignment, and product footprint requirements.
Entities with consolidated annual revenue over $100 million must submit an annual Modern Slavery Statement to the Australian Border Force's public register, describing modern slavery risks in their operations and supply chains and the actions taken to address them. Smaller suppliers are increasingly asked about modern slavery in customer questionnaires too.
Yes. Ten minutes, eight questions, instant personalised results. We ask for your email at the end so we can send you a copy of your report. No credit card, no sales call required. If you want help acting on the results, our 10-Day Readiness Sprint is the next step.
