The investor community together with regulators and multilaterals is working towards higher levels of disclosure, accountability and risk management. Adaptation and resilience disclosure whilst emergent is likely to shock many of the ASX 200 despite being welcomed by transnationals and multinationals. Supply chain disclosure by the largest companies and investors will demand improved frameworks, metrics and evaluation challenging Australian corporates, government and practitioners. Early action through applied research, shared learning and dialogue can help anticipate these shocks allowing for agile, open disclosure and better coordinated management response
