Webinar series: Perspectives on sustainability disclosure
The IFRS Foundation invites preparers and other capital market participants worldwide to
join a new series of webinars designed to ease their transition to using IFRS
Sustainability Disclosure Standards. The 'Perspectives on sustainability
disclosure' series complements other resources the IFRS Foundation has published
since the Standards were launched in 2023.
The webinars are designed to help companies prepare to use IFRS Sustainability Disclosure
Standards for reporting on sustainability risks and opportunities. The series, one of
many IFRS Foundation educational and capacity-building offerings, will engage new and
experienced preparers each month in expert presentations and lively discussions
supported by organisations in the IFRS Foundation Partnership Framework. The events will be open for anyone to join
live or to play back afterwards on demand.
Upcoming topics in the series are listed below. As registration becomes available we will
add the date and a link.
