Key partnerships
IOSCO Chair, Jean-Paul Servais:
Given the effects of climate risks on companies, financial institutions and capital markets, we welcome the work by the ISSB and its "Climate Champions" to promote high quality climate-related disclosures which can enable increased transparency about climate risks and opportunities across global financial markets.
Following IOSCO's endorsement of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 and in addition to the ISSB's own work with preparers and others, IOSCO is committed to engage with regulators across jurisdictions to support them in deciding on their regulatory and policy approach to the adoption or use of the ISSB's Climate Standard in their jurisdictions, with the ISSB's support. In this context, we welcome the ISSB's announcements on its ongoing work with regards to an adoption guide for jurisdictions.
Financial Stability Board Chair, Klaas Knot:
Given the effects of climate risks on companies, financial institutions and capital markets, we welcome the work by the ISSB and its Climate Standard, to deliver high quality climate-related disclosures which can enable increased transparency about climate risks and opportunities at global level. We reiterate our commitment to work jointly with the ISSB to advance and monitor the adoption or use of the ISSB’s Climate Standard globally.
Network For Greening the Financial System Chair, Ravi Menon:
Good data and disclosure underpin our collective efforts to manage climate-related risks and develop credible transition plans to decarbonise the economy. We support the establishment of the ISSB’s Climate Standards as the global baseline to enable consistent and comparable disclosures by firms around the world. We are committed to working with the ISSB to promote the adoption of the ISSB’s Climate Standards in a timely manner, in line with jurisdictional disclosure frameworks.
International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director, Kristalina Georgieva:
We support the ISSB’s work to develop global standards for sustainability-related disclosures that complement the existing financial reporting standards that we have long advocated for. Global adoption of these standards will help to unlock climate finance for where it is needed the most.
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Secretary-General, Mathias Cormann:
The OECD welcomes the ISSB Standards, the use of which will help meet the urgent need to advance consistent, comparable disclosures about climate-related risks and opportunities worldwide. We reaffirm our commitment to work with the ISSB to advance this work.
United Nations entities UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), UN Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI):
We welcome the ISSB standards, which represent significant progress towards the global harmonization of climate-related financial disclosures. We look forward to continuing our work with the ISSB to facilitate capacity building and enhance interoperability with other complementary reporting standards, advancing us towards the objectives of the 2030 Agenda.
World Bank and the Asian Development Bank:
We welcome global initiatives to introduce a harmonized set of sustainability reporting standards that complement existing financial reporting standards, and we support transparency and comparability of sustainability-focused disclosure, including the work of the ISSB. We see this as a key part of the global public goods agenda, helping to direct public and private finance where it is needed most. We are closely following and contributing to efforts led by the standard-setting organisations focused on sustainability reporting.
GRI CEO Eelco van der Enden:
I congratulate the of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on the rollout of the IFRS S2 Climate Standard. We applaud your commitment to advancing sustainability reporting around the world. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with the ISSB and the IFRS Foundation, leveraging our shared dedication to creating a more sustainable future. We are at a pivotal moment, and we are excited about the positive impact our collective efforts can make on a global scale.
