Many companies will be required or will choose to disclose information about their sustainability-related risks and opportunities using both #ISSB Standards and #ESRS. The IFRS Foundation, the European Commission and EFRAG achieved a high degree of alignment of climate-related disclosures between ISSB Standards and ESRS, but compliance with one set of standards does not ensure compliance with the other. To help companies, the IFRS Foundation and EFRAG have published interoperability guidance, which: 📖 Explains the alignment; 📖 Provides practical support that explains how a company can comply with both sets of standards; 📖 Includes detailed analysis of climate-related disclosures; and 📖 Explains why companies still need to refer to the standards, but makes it easier to navigate doing so. Find out more below about the key takeaways from the interoperability guidance. Access the ESRS–ISSB Standards Interoperability Guidance: https://lnkd.in/dE5KNHeZ 📺 You will be able to hear more about the interoperability guidance in an upcoming webcast.
