This 2-day training course provides an overview of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and analyses the disclosure requirements of different sustainability reporting frameworks including the key UN initiatives, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the requirements of ISSB’s (International Sustainability Standards Board) Standards.
The ISSB builds on the work of various reporting initiatives, including the industry-based Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Standards, Integrated Reporting Framework, the Task Force for Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) and the World Economic Forum’s Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics.
