Submission to XRB: Current disclosure timeframes position Aotearoa New Zealand as a destination for international capital

Submission | Lisa Caripis | September 2025

Investors are increasingly looking for markets where climate-related financial risks and opportunities are effectively managed. Markets with robust mandatory climate reporting rules are well place to attract climate-aware global capital. IGCC has recommended:
  • No delay to Scope 3 and AFI disclosures. Investors need this information for investment decision-making and stewardship. Retaining the existing disclosure timeframes is in the interests of Aotearoa New Zealand’s investment credibility.
