Why the ISSB Standards Matters

The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) was established to create a global baseline for sustainability related financial disclosures. Developed by the ISSB, the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS SDS) are designed to help companies communicate sustainability information that is decision useful for investors and other capital market participants.

The Standards address climate related disclosures first through IFRS S2, alongside overarching sustainability requirements in IFRS S1. Together, these standards set out how companies should identify, assess, and disclose sustainability and climate related risks and opportunities across governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets.

As the ISSB Standards gains adoption across global markets, they are becoming a foundational reference point for management teams, boards, and investors alike.
