This Spring has proven to be busy for sustainability reporting practitioners. After the US SEC published its draft rule on mandatory climate disclosure, the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS), which seeks to be the global baseline for investor focused sustainability disclosure, released their draft Sustainability Reporting Standards for public consultation. Quickly following, the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group released their draft European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), created to standardize companies’ ESG disclosures for a range of stakeholder audiences under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

The ongoing public consultations are a unique opportunity to influence the future of mandatory sustainability reporting standards in a view to build a sustainability reporting system that will drive company’s sustainability performance and enable informed decision making by all stakeholders including investors.

During this webinar, BSR will provide an overview the IFRS Sustainability Reporting Standards and ESRS Exposure Drafts, as well as BSR’s point of view based on more than 30 years working with companies to advance sustainable business strategies. Join us for a discussion with our members and experts on how companies are preparing for the upcoming regulatory requirements.
