Why the ISSB
Standards Matters
The ISSB Standards—IFRS S1 and IFRS S2—establish a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures. They help companies report material information about sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could affect cash flows, access to finance or cost of capital, giving investors consistent, comparable and decision-useful information across global markets.
Global adoption continues to accelerate, with jurisdictions representing a substantial share of the global economy moving towards the adoption or other use of the ISSB Standards.
