As the representative body for Australian and international asset owners and institutional investors with over $1.9 trillion in funds under management, ACSI seeks to strengthen long-term company value by addressing financially material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. We recognise that workplace mental health is both a moral and economic imperative, and that companies with strong health and safety records and mentally healthy workforces are more competitive and successful over time.
ACSI has commissioned Chronos Sustainability Ltd to undertake an independent assessment of ASX20 reporting using the established CCLA Corporate Mental Health Benchmark framework. This assessment will provide investors with an accessible, systematic, and credible evaluation of corporate practices and disclosures, focusing on governance and management systems that shape workplace outcomes.
The evaluation will consider four focus areas:
- Management Commitment & Policy – leadership, culture, and formal policies.
- Governance & Management – oversight, resources, objectives, and reporting.
- Leadership & Innovation – sector leadership, advocacy, and recognition.
- Performance Reporting & Impact – monitoring interventions and outcomes.

ACSI’s assessment will be based solely on publicly available information published by your company during the two most recent reporting cycles. No preparation is required at this stage, as this is a baseline review designed to establish current practice. Draft results will be shared with your company for review in late October 2025, with final confidential reports provided in early Q1 2026. Please note, while overall tier-level results may be published, individual company scores will remain confidential.
