February 2024 ISSB podcast
The ISSB Update, summarising the February 2024 International
Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) meeting is now available. You can also listen to
Chair Emmanuel Faber and Vice-Chair Jingdong Hua in the latest episode of the ISSB podcast.
In the podcast Emmanuel and Jingdong reflect on key takeaways from the IFRS Sustainability Symposium, which took place in New York City
last week.
Jingdong gives an update on the capacity building programme, including how the IFRS
Foundation is working with partners to support the implementation of IFRS S1 and IFRS
S2, with a focus on emerging and developing economies.
Emmanuel and Jingdong discuss how the launch of the Preview of the Inaugural Jurisdictional Guide for the adoption or other use
of ISSB Standards aims to support transparency for capital
markets, regulators and other stakeholders by setting out the features of jurisdictional
approaches to adoption.
They also reflect on the February ISSB meeting in New York City, during which the Board
discussed the:
-
development of educational material on materiality; and
-
criteria used to determine how to prioritise potential projects in the ISSB’s next two-year work plan.
Finally, they speak about the webcast and educational material recently published by the IFRS
Foundation, which highlights the importance of industry-specific disclosures to
investors.
