GSIA has responded to the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB’s) request for information — Consultation on Agenda Priorities highlighting our support for the ISSB’s work to establish a high-quality and comparable baseline of sustainability disclosures.
In our response, we outline our perspectives on the ISSB’s prioritisation of upcoming projects, which we believe should focus on supporting the global adoption of the IFRS 1 and IFRS 2 as swiftly as possible, while also shortly launching a new work programme to develop a set of further standards to report on biodiversity and social topics. These areas are of increasing interest to the investment community, and essential in ensuring a fair transition towards a more sustainable future.
