LSEG (London Stock Exchange Group)’s Post

It’s been a great week for LSEG at London Climate Action Week 2024! We convened investors, companies, policy makers and other stakeholders, encouraging cooperation, partnership and the active sharing of ideas to mobilise climate transition in the UK and beyond. Highlights included: • Welcoming the IFRS Foundation to the London Stock Exchange to celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) S1 and S2 standards. The ISSB announced it will assume responsibility for the Transition Plan Taskforce Disclosure Framework and guidance materials. • Hosting the Climate Investment Summit, organised by World Climate Foundation. The event brought together a range of industry leaders and experts to discuss practical solutions to the question of how to finance a low-carbon and nature-positive future. • Hosting a roundtable at the Climate Innovation Forum at the Guildhall, on the topic of ‘Deriving Value from Corporate Disclosures’. The room was full of lively discussions on corporate disclosure challenges, opportunities and best practice. • Events hosted with the Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI) as well as the UK Carbon Markets Forum together with the ASEAN Alliance on Carbon Markets. Another fantastic week of collaboration, and we look forward to much more ahead. #LCAW2024

Great to see the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) embark on its plans for the next two years at London Climate Action Week. By assuming responsibility for the Transition Plan Taskforce Disclosure Framework, the ISSB will enable greater standardisation and consistency in climate transition plans across economies. This move will help to advance corporate progress toward sustainability goals. #LSEG #SustainableFinance
