Three new papers have been added to Deloitte Asia Pacific’s Mandatory Sustainability Reporting Series, emphasising the pressing need for organisations to prepare for sustainability disclosure requirements rapidly evolving across Asia Pacific. As these regulations take effect, organisations must focus on embedding sustainability reporting into their operating models, build solid sustainability data foundations and strengthen controls for assurance-ready reporting.​ Key insights from the reports include: ​ ·          More than 50% of CFO respondents reported they were already integrating sustainability considerations into their financial decision making however, they are only starting to build teams and processes for repeatable reporting​ ·          40% said they are working on incorporating sustainability into their operating model but only 6% reported it was already embedded​ CFOs can lead the charge by integrating sustainability into core business processes, clarifying roles, and building cross-functional teams for robust, repeatable reporting. Ready to future-proof your sustainability reporting?

Government leaders recognise AI’s potential, but scaling it requires unique strategies, workforce training, and balancing costs against public benefits - including different ROI measures than their commercial counterparts. Deloitte’s Government Trends 2025 focuses on how governments are exploring AI platforms, enhancing workforce know-how, and leveraging technical partnerships to scale AI effectively. We saw this trend is in action through the Australia's Digital Transformation Agency's deployment of a generative AI assistant to 7,600 employees across 60 agencies over six months, saving each employee an average of one hour daily on administrative tasks. Read other case studies from around the world that demonstrate successful AI implementation in government operations. Learn how governments are finding new opportunities to implement AI at an unprecedented pace and scale and the benefits it is poised to deliver. Delivering on AI is one of nine trends covered in this year’s Government Trends report, which highlights solutions from governments around the world to meet modern-day delivery challenges.   Explore the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gnkruGws  #GovernmentTrends #GovTrends2025 #ArtificialIntelligence #Transformation Adithi Pandit Phillip Roberts NSN Murty Ken Ohama Shubhranshu Patnaik Colette Rogers Jeong Yeol(Jungle) Kim Ike Chen Gary Wu Chew Chiat Lee Han Dong-Hyun Allan M.

Smart. Nice. Driven. At EY-Parthenon, these three words define who we are. Smart means bringing insight and clarity to complex client problems. Nice means collaborating with respect — with one another and with our clients. And Driven means turning those insights and relationships into measurable, lasting outcomes. Being Driven doesn’t mean being cutthroat — no “eat what you kill” culture here. It’s not about chasing short-term wins at any cost. Instead, it’s about staying client-focused and results-oriented, while acting as true partners throughout the client journey. Driven teams are entrepreneurial — spotting opportunities others miss, staying resourceful and creative in the face of challenges, and pushing forward with purpose. When we’re truly Driven, ideas become impact, progress accelerates, and results are achieved in ways that are sustainable, inclusive, and meaningful.
