“Not recorded voting” is everyone eligible who isn't recorded as Aye or No, for example absent, paired, or presiding.

What was decided

The majority voted in favour of keeping schedule 2 unchanged (in parliamentary jargon, they voted that it "stand as printed"). This vote was put after Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts (One Nation) proposed that:

(3) Schedule 2, page 14 (line 1) to page 20 (line 6), to be opposed.

What does schedule 2 do?

According to the bills digest:

Schedule 2 amends the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (ASIC Act) to lay the necessary foundations to implement sustainability reporting standards in Australia.

Currently, sustainability reporting in Australia is undertaken on a voluntary basis.
