International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)’s Post

Sustainability is not just a competitive advantage, it is a corporate necessity. Question: Is your business ready to face that reality? How long will it take you to get started and ready to report on sustainability… and how much would it cost? If you are a business owner or know someone who might be facing this, comment below or DM me to discuss how we can help. PS: we’re building a free assesment tool to answer those questions, your concerns will help us build a more relevant tool for you!

EFRAG has released a 'State of Play as of Q2 2024 | Implementation of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (#ESRS)' The study examines emerging practices by interviewing 28 large EU-based companies across various sectors, both financial and non-financial. These companies were selected for their potential maturity and resources in applying ESRS. The analysis focuses on key areas such as materiality assessment, value chain, datapoint gap analysis, and ESG reporting approaches #CSRD #climatedisclosures

In an ever-changing regulatory environment, it is important that Australian organisations develop ESG strategies that are not only firmly focussed on their stakeholders (including their own people, customers, shareholders, suppliers as well as their communities) but also that those strategies are compliant. In 2021, the global market for ESG investing was worth US$35 trillion dollars according to Bloomberg Intelligence and it continues to grow.  One thing is certain – ESG is a business issue and it is here to stay. Directors need to have a firm handle on ESG given the move towards mandatory sustainability reporting both in Australia and overseas. Join presenters Eric Kwan and Samantha Pacchiarotta as they: - explore what ESG is and why it remains relevant; - discuss how ESG issues may impact your business and you personally; and - take a sneak peek of the upcoming reporting frameworks and how this may impact on what you do now. #esgreporting #esgstrategy #directorsandofficers

The clock is ticking for companies to align with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (#CSRD), which aims to transform how organisations report on sustainability-related issues, integrating them into the core of corporate reporting. Under the CSRD, with the objective to transition to a sustainable EU economy, listed EU companies with more than 500 employees will have to report on this year’s #sustainability impact next year, in 2025. As the European #regulatory landscape rapidly evolves, as this data visual shows, you can keep up to date with the latest developments through ESG Book’s Reporting Exchange. Explore the world’s largest database of reliable, comparable information on sustainability #reporting requirements, standards, and indicators.

Viola Moeller, Sustainability Services Partner with BDO in Germany spoke at the 2nd World ESG & Responsible Business Summit last week on the topic of the implementation challenges of the #CSRD - in particular for those companies reporting for the first time. The regulatory changes are complex but it's important that companies understand the necessity of strategically embedding materiality analysis into their organisations. The rigorous process to be followed and the control hurdles to overcome to ensure an audit-proof integration of ESG into the business also need to be made clear.
