How ISSB Standards Are Changing ESG for Large Enterprises

Sustainability reporting is entering a new chapter. With the launch of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), large enterprises now face higher expectations.

What is the ISSB?

The ISSB was created by the IFRS Foundation to streamline ESG reporting. Instead of choosing between multiple frameworks (like TCFD or SASB), companies now have a clear path forward. The ISSB’s two baseline standards — IFRS S1 and S2 — focus on material information that’s relevant to strategic decision-making, investors, and stakeholders.

• IFRS S1: General sustainability-related disclosures
• IFRS S2: Climate-specific disclosures (based on TCFD)

This signals a shift from voluntary — and often inconsistent and inaccurate — reporting towards a standardised and reliable system for sustainability.

Why It Matters to Large Enterprises

• Regulatory readiness: Governments and regulatory bodies around the world are aligning with ISSB standards.
• Investor expectations: ISSB-aligned data encourages stakeholder engagement as it enables better decision-making and displays accountability and trust.
• Operational scale: The bigger the business, the more complex the ESG data. Streamlined reporting saves time, money, and stress.

Getting Ready for ISSB Implementation

• Assess your current reporting:Review how your existing ESG disclosures compare to IFRS S1 and S2.
• Bring sustainability and finance together:ISSB requires ESG data to be treated with the same rigour as financial data.
