Capitals Coalition is delighted to support City & Financial Global’s 3rd Annual Sustainability Reporting Summit on 31 January will take a deep dive into the first two ISSB standards, which are a major step towards establishing a global ESG reporting baseline. While the standards build on the foundations and structure of the TCFD voluntary framework, they go much further in that they focus on all ESG-related matters, not just climate. They will also become mandatory as national authorities adopt them for reporting in their markets.
The programme brings together an exceptional cast of speakers, including the Coalition CEO, Mark Gough, to consider the key issues in the round for companies as they prepare to implement the standards and for investors who will need to analyse reports from investee companies produced under the standards. It will also review broader developments in sustainability reporting internationally.
Key topics to be discussed at the Summit:
- The objectives of the new ISSB standards
- Update on the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and European Sustainability Reporting Standards
- ESG disclosures in the U.S. – SEC requirements and the wider ESG debate
- The critical role of auditors in verifying companies’ sustainability reporting and disclosures
- The future – incorporating nature-related and biodiversity disclosures into corporate sustainability reporting
