The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation established the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) in 2021 to address the fragmented landscape of voluntary, sustainability-related standards. The ISSB's mandate is to develop a global baseline of sustainability reporting standards (IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards) for consistent, comparable, and high-quality reporting.
These standards are based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, covering Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets. The ISSB issued its first two standards on 26 June 2023: IFRS S1 for sustainability-related risks and opportunities, and IFRS S2 for climate-related disclosures.
Our e-learning modules are designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate these standards effectively. Through interactive content and practical examples, participants will familiarise themselves with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. Whether you are new to sustainability reporting or looking to deepen your expertise, our training offers valuable insights and tools to help you succeed in this critical area.
