ISSB Sustainability-related Financial Information climate disclosures

15 July 2022

ABA’s position on the IFRS Foundations ISSB proposed financial disclosures. The Australian Banking Association (ABA) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on the Exposure Draft on IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information ([Draft] IFRS S1) and Exposure Draft IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures ([Draft] IFRS S2).   We support a global approach to the development of sustainability disclosure standards through the ISSB as the global body to issue the standards. Further, we support the climate-first approach adopted by the ISSB. We see great value in the ISSB issuing a forward workplan (or consulting on a proposed forward workplan) to enable entities to prepare for future sustainability disclosure requirements.
