IS ESG ABOUT TO HIT YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

With rising regulatory pressure, public accountability, and tightening supply chain standards, small businesses across Australia are now being asked a new question: What are your ESG credentials?

Once reserved for large corporations and institutional investors, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is now a growing requirement for businesses of all sizes.

By 2030, all Federal Government departments must have net-zero supply chains, and state governments are rapidly incorporating these requirements into their procurement contracts. At the same time, ASX-listed companies must report on Scope 3 emissions—the indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur across their value chains.

Major banks and investors are also linking funding and lending decisions to ESG performance, ensuring that capital flows only to sustainable businesses in order to mitigate their risk. Meanwhile, compliance with Australia’s Modern Slavery Act, Workplace Gender Equality Act, and Anti-Discrimination and Human Rights Legislation affects every business supplying to government departments, government contractors or large corporations.

This shift means that small businesses—trades, manufacturers, suppliers, and micro-enterprises alike—are increasingly required to provide not only emissions data but full ESG disclosures to retain existing contracts or bid for new ones. Yet most don’t know where to start and can’t afford costly consultants.

The market has been flooded with quick-fix carbon calculators, but these typically rely on industry averages, generating generic numbers that fail to meet audit or assurance standards—exposing businesses to greenwashing risks and compliance gaps.

That’s the problem we set out to solve.
