Transition readiness of Australia’s most influential companies
Australia is among the world’s most nature‑dependent economies, with agriculture, mining and energy sectors forming the backbone of growth, exports and employment.

Drawing on WBA’s 2026 global research of the world’s 1,600 most influential real economy companies, we provide a country‑specific analysis that shows how Australian companies compare globally and why the next phase of the transition must shift from commitments to credible implementation.
