Register for ISSB Corporate Reporting Webinar Series

On 13 January, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) published a press report, informing about the upcoming webinar series on general requirements for sustainability-related disclosures and one on climate-related disclosures.
Experts will discuss current good practice and how companies can prepare for the ISSB’s global baseline of disclosure requirements, as well as how the Integrated Reporting Framework can connect sustainability and business performance, and how effective processes and controls can enable investor-grade disclosure that is consistent and reliable. With a strong focus on education and practical application, the webinar series provides resources and insights for high-quality sustainability disclosure.
The series consists of three parts:
– PART 1 on Tuesday 24 January 2023 14:00 GMT:
Better information for better decisions—Introduction to investor-focused sustainability disclosure
The first episode of the series will provide an overview of the concepts in IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information, including how companies can meet the information needs of investors and the ISSB’s approach to financial materiality. The session will explore links to other materials, including how the SASB Standards in IFRS S1 are used and how TCFD architecture is part of the framework of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards.
– PART 2 on Tuesday 31 January 2023 16:00 GMT (11:00 EST):
Any size or stage—Getting started on climate disclosure
The second episode of the series focuses on IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, including what climate-related information investors need and the best way for companies to gather and report it. Considering extensive market feedback, we will discuss how phasing and scaling will help companies of any size or stage of development.
– PART 3 on Tuesday 7 February 2023 04:00 GMT (13:00 JST):
Connectivity and controls—the path to investor-grade disclosure
The last episode of the series dives deep into connectivity between sustainability disclosure and financial statements, and how this is articulated in IFRS S1.
