What is the ISSB?


The ISSB was created by the IFRS Foundation to streamline ESG reporting. Instead of choosing between multiple frameworks (like TCFD or SASB), companies now have a clear path forward. The ISSB’s two baseline standards — IFRS S1 and S2 — focus on material information that’s relevant to strategic decision-making, investors, and stakeholders.


  • IFRS S1: General sustainability-related disclosures

  • IFRS S2: Climate-specific disclosures (based on TCFD)


This signals a shift from voluntary — and often inconsistent and inaccurate — reporting towards a standardised and reliable system for sustainability.


Why It Matters to Large Enterprises


  • Regulatory readiness: Governments and regulatory bodies around the world are aligning with ISSB standards.

  • Investor expectations: ISSB-aligned data encourages stakeholder engagement as it enables better decision-making and displays accountability and trust.

  • Operational scale: The bigger the business, the more complex the ESG data. Streamlined reporting saves time, money, and stress.


Getting Ready for ISSB Implementation


  • Assess your current reporting:Review how your existing ESG disclosures compare to IFRS S1 and S2.

  • Bring sustainability and finance together:ISSB requires ESG data to be treated with the same rigour as financial data.
