IFRS Foundation Releases Guide to Support ISSB Implementation🚀 Investors are increasingly calling on companies to voluntarily adopt the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards to provide valuable information for investment decisions. In response to growing demand, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation has published a guide to support companies in implementing the ISSB's S1 and S2 standards and communicating their progress on these matters. The IFRS Foundation's new publication, "Voluntarily applying ISSB Standards—A guide for preparers," aims to provide a tool for companies, particularly in jurisdictions without regulatory requirements, to meet investor demand for sustainability reporting aligned with the new emerging standards. These standards, which adopt a single materiality approach to financial disclosures, are designed to enhance the quality and consistency of ESG disclosures. ♻️ By voluntarily applying the ISSB standards, companies can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and attract more informed and engaged investors. 🌍 As ESG disclosures become increasingly essential for investor decision-making, adopting the ISSB standards can provide a competitive advantage.

Read below to find out how the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) defines materiality.
INCE ISSB SERIES: MATERIALITY UNDER ISSB STANDARDS ▶️ International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) defines materiality as “any information that, if omitted or misrepresented, could influence financial decisions”. With both IFRS S1 and S2 focusing on financially material ESG risks and opportunities that impact a company’s bottom line, these Standards are designed to meet the needs of current and future investors, lenders, and creditors. In today’s landscape, sustainability risks (like climate change) are financial risks. By reporting on material ESG issues, companies hold themselves accountable for their long-term resilience. Investors use this information to make more informed decisions, aligning capital with sustainable practices. 💡 This can help drive transparency, integrate sustainability into core business strategy, and drive companies towards a more sustainable future where they recognise that sustainability is integral to long-term success ♻️ ❓How is your company addressing financially material ESG risks, and what steps are you taking to integrate sustainability into your core strategy? ➤ You can read more about our take on ISSB and the benefits of early alignment here: https://lnkd.in/e78J_7C7 #Materiality #FinancialMateriality #ESG #Sustainability #ISSB #IFRS #InceStrategicAdvisory #InceSustainabilityAdvisory
