Seminar on IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards

In June 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) published its inaugural Standards – IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures – ushering in a new era of sustainability-related disclosures in capital markets worldwide and its publication represent a vital step forward in establishing a global baseline for sustainability reporting. 

IFRS S1 provides a set of disclosure requirements designed to enable companies to communicate to investors about the sustainability-related risks and opportunities they face over the short, medium and long term. IFRS S2 sets out specific climate-related disclosures and is designed to be used with IFRS S1. Both fully incorporate the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

The MASB will be organising a one-day seminar which will introduce participants to the two new IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, together with capacity building and education of the IFRS Foundation.
