Sustainable Reporting

ISSB’s Inaugural IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards

On June 26, 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) first Sustainability Disclosure Standards were issued. A new era of international corporation reporting has begun.

The ISSB issued the first two IFRS Sustainability Disclosures:

1. IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information (IFRS S1)

2. IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures (IFRS S2)

The annual reporting periods begin on or after 1 January 2024 for both the IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.

The ISSB published a “climate first” transition option that allows an entity to only provide climate-related disclosures in the first year of utilizing the IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.

The application of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are not connected to the IFRS Accounting Standards.

Each jurisdiction’s regulatory process will determine whether the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are mandatory.
