At Walker Wayland NSW, our approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) responsibility is rooted in a long-standing belief: sustainability is not an obligation, it is an essential pillar of sound business practice.

Our ESG journey began in 2014, driven by a proactive desire to understand and improve our environmental impact. That same year, we commenced formal measurement of our carbon footprint, setting a precedent for accountability well ahead of industry expectations. This early initiative evolved into a broader strategic commitment, culminating in Carbon Neutral Certification under the Climate Active program in 2020.

We have since continued to enhance the integrity of our sustainability practices. Our emissions data has been independently verified by a Big 4 accounting firm, first in 2021, and again in 2023, reinforcing our commitment to accuracy, transparency, and trust.

As Australia prepares for the rollout of mandatory climate-related financial disclosures, Walker Wayland NSW stands ready – both as a compliant organisation and as a guide to clients navigating this evolving regulatory landscape. We bring experience, foresight, and deep technical capability to help organisations align with emerging ESG standards.
