ESG Regulatory Reporting Gap Analysis

Project Overview

Orka Advisory was engaged by a global wine organisation to conduct a comprehensive ESG regulatory reporting gap analysis. The project aimed to assess compliance readiness across multiple jurisdictions and frameworks to ensure Day 1 compliance post-merger and establish global ESG reporting foundations.

Scope of Work

Regulatory Mapping and Gap Assessment

Regulatory Mapping and Gap Assessment Reviewed ESG obligations across Australia, New Zealand, UK, EU, US, and Asia covering ASRS, NGER, TCFD, CSRD, ISSB, CSDDD, SEC Climate Rules, HKEX, SGX, and other frameworks. Identified current reporting maturity levels and prioritised critical compliance risks.

Governance and Strategy Advisory

Provided recommendations for integrating ESG governance into the organisation's operating model, clarifying roles post-merger, and aligning board and executive accountabilities with emerging regulatory standards.

High-Level ESG Reporting Strategy

Outlined a practical, phased roadmap to close compliance gaps, align with global reporting baselines (ISSB), and strengthen investor, regulator, and stakeholder confidence.

Impact

Day 1 Compliance Readiness

The project ensured the organisation could meet immediate ESG disclosure requirements across its expanded footprint, mitigating regulatory and reputational risks.

Strategic ESG Integration

Created clarity on ESG governance, data systems, and reporting responsibilities, supporting internal alignment during a complex merger transition.

Global Investor Confidence

Positioned the organisation as a responsible global wine producer, enhancing access to ESG-linked financing and strengthening stakeholder trust.
