Strategic Insights and Solutions from Automic Group
Inclusion in the S&P/ASX 300 is not just a milestone. It is a structural shift in how your company is traded, valued, and scrutinised. This briefing is built for leadership teams within, or approaching, the index. It explains how index inclusion works, what changes, and how to respond with intent.
The role of the Company Secretary has transformed dramatically. Once primarily administrative, it now sits at the intersection of governance, compliance, and strategic advisory. Yet while boardrooms expect strategic thinking, many CoSecs remain trapped by legacy systems and outdated processes that consume valuable time and mental energy.
Mandatory AASB S2 reporting has started for Australian organisations. The time to prepare is now. But the standard is complex. It requires integrating climate into your governance, strategy, and risk framework. For many leaders, it’s hard to know where to begin.
Identifying your climate compliance gaps is the first step. But it leads to a daunting question: "what do we do now?". How do you turn the four pillars of AASB S2 into a clear project plan? How do you manage the work across governance, strategy, risk, and finance without a dedicated team? This is where strategy meets reality.
