Overview

Responding to the increasing investor demand for a global baseline of sustainability disclosures, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) was established at COP26. On 31 March 2022, the ISSB released two proposed standards for public consultation: a General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and Climate-related Disclosures. 

These, and other international sustainability reporting standards to be developed by the ISSB, will spell a significant change for the accounting profession, as responsibility for sustainability reporting moves within the remit of finance and accounting professionals.
