Many Australian boards are struggling to prepare their companies or organisations for climate change, with almost half the country’s directors saying they don’t know how to tackle the issue | pwhatch

A first-of-its-kind study by the Australian Institute of Company Directors into how boards are approaching climate change reveals that 77 per cent of directors are concerned about how it will affect their organisation, but often failed to act.

Mr Armour said directors should be working to understand their organisation’s impact on climate, and how climate change will impact them.“Then it’s contemplating both how you can improve your own position relative to climate change and look for opportunities to in fact make your firm stronger,” he said.

Across all directors, only 11 per cent disagreed that their board needed to do more to respond to climate change, but that rose to 22 per cent in the mining sector.AICD managing director Angus Armour Directors of ASX-listed companies were less likely to be “extremely” or “somewhat” concerned about how climate change risks compared to directors on government or public sector boards . Around half also saw opportunities for their organisation by proactively responding to climate change.
