Audit Committee Dialogue Summary: Transition planning and the changing sustainability reporting landscape
Chapter Zero recently organised a series of two roundtables for Audit Committee Chairs and members in partnership with Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) to explore forward planning, effective communication, and an understanding of emerging requirements for Audit Committees to drive climate action on boards. With expert input from A4S, the second session focused on transition planning and the changing sustainability reporting landscape. These are two topics that are critical for Audit Committees to keep ahead of, and you can find the key takeaways from the second session below.

Getting Started: Setting your strategic ambition
In collaboration with BCG, the third module in our Transition Planning series equips non-executive directors with practical tips on how to fully integrate climate transition planning into business strategy.

Getting Started: Navigating the regulatory landscape
In collaboration with EY, the second module in our Transition Planning series equips non-executive directors (NEDs) to navigate the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape in which climate transition planning sits and understand the implications for businesses.

Grow or go: leading the transition
In 2023, Chapter Zero partnered with McKinsey for a three-part event series that explored the impact non-executive directors (NEDs) can have in the boardroom to help their organisations achieve net zero. The first of these sessions, held on Tuesday 6 June, focused on the strategic fundamentals of green growth, and how NEDs can support organisations to move from pledges to plans and help them achieve low-carbon growth. We have summarised below the key takeaways of this event.
