Course Overview
In the recent times, there has been an increased demand for ESG information which has made it necessary for organizations to understand the essentials of ESG, sustainability reporting frameworks and latest developments.
The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has published IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. In this practical session, we will apply the requirements of these standards, including materiality assessments and review the sustainability reporting developments in key jurisdictions. This will help participants gain an understanding of the global sustainability reporting landscape and the growing importance of investor-focused sustainability disclosures. The course will also help participants plan for upcoming changes.
