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.
