International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)

The #ISSB was called on by the market and international policy makers to deliver an efficient reporting landscape, ending the alphabet soup of voluntary initiatives and meeting investor demand for decision-useful, comparable information. The ISSB remains committed to serving as an anchor in the sustainability disclosure landscape, working closely with partners around the world to drive efficiencies. We deliver this through: ⏫ Consolidation – of #SASB (SASB Standards), #TCFD, Climate Disclosure Standards Board #CDSB and Integrated Reporting materials. 🤝 Establishing the ISSB as the sister board of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) – making sure the ISSB Standards work especially well with the requirements of the #IASB, while useable alongside any generally accepted accounting principles. 🔗 Supporting connections – through tools such as the #IntegratedReporting Framework and the Management Commentary Practice Statement. ✔️ Interoperability – with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) #GRI, #ESRS and the US SEC. 📊 Through the ISSB Standard’s climate-related standard is becoming a basis for other initiatives – such as CDP, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board (IPSASB). ✳️ Driving harmonisation in the landscape – through a number of strategic relationships.

We have today published our annual report and audited financial statements for 2024.  The report highlights the Foundation’s vital role in bringing transparency, accountability and efficiency to capital markets around the world. It also underscores the importance of stakeholder engagement and collaboration in developing reporting standards that result in decision-useful information for investors, are cost-effective for companies and are enforceable by regulators worldwide.  Trustee Chair Erkki Liikanen summarises our achievements in 2024.

The #ISSB commends the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan（SSBJ）for pursuing its policy to design SSBJ Standards to be aligned with ISSB Standards and on the extent of alignment achieved. The release of SSBJ Standards designed to provide outcomes functionally aligned with ISSB Standards represents a significant milestone in promoting global comparability of sustainability-related disclosures for capital markets. We applaud this important development and look forward to continuing our engagement with the SSBJ, Japanese stakeholders and the Japanese regulatory authorities as they determine the application of SSBJ Standards.

In November 2024, the IFRS Foundation published a comprehensive guide to help companies identify the sustainability-related risks and opportunities to report on and the material information to provide.    📺 We have now made available a new webcast featuring ISSB Vice-Chair Sue Lloyd, ISSB Technical Director David Bolderston and ISSB Technical Fellow Dianora Aria De Marco, CPA.     The webcast covers how companies can use the guide to identify sustainability-related risks and opportunities and material information. The webcast also includes practical examples from the guide.     Throughout the guide there are:  🔹 Connectivity considerations a company might make to drive connectivity between sustainability-related financial disclosures and its financial statements;  🔹 Interoperability considerations for preparers applying ISSB Standards alongside the ESRS or GRI Standards; and 🔹 Practical examples that bring the concepts in the educational material to life.    Find out more, watch the webcast and access the guide: https://lnkd.in/enTQBfWN   #ISSBStandards #IFRSSustainability #materialinformation
