This webinar will explore how companies establish and communicate effective governance processes, controls and oversight structures to monitor, manage and oversee sustainability-related risks and opportunities. Panellists will examine how boards and management can ensure that sustainability-related financial disclosures provide decision-useful information for investors by applying IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures.

The discussion will highlight how integrating governance over sustainability-related risks and opportunities with the organisation’s broader governance and risk-management structures promotes accountability, transparency and long-term value creation and supports high-quality disclosures that meet investors’ information needs.

Key topics include:

  • the roles and responsibilities of governance bodies and management in overseeing sustainability-related risks and opportunities;
  • the process of disclosing information about governance processes, oversight and accountability to support decision-useful sustainability-related financial information; and
  • practical insights and case studies on integrating governance over sustainability-related risks and opportunities into corporate governance, risk management and reporting structures.
