Course Overview
Sustainability disclosure expectations are rapidly evolving as organisations face growing pressure from regulators, investors, and stakeholders to provide consistent and decision-useful ESG information. The ISSB standards IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 establish a global baseline for sustainability and climate-related disclosures connected to financial reporting.
This mentor-led programme helps finance and ESG teams understand the structure, intent, and practical application of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Through practical scenarios, participants explore how sustainability-related risks and opportunities link to governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics disclosures expected by global capital markets.
Across two days, learners examine the architecture of the ISSB framework, climate-related disclosure requirements, and implementation approaches organisations can use to integrate sustainability data into financial reporting processes. The programme focuses on real-world reporting workflows, cross-functional collaboration, and practical readiness for sustainability disclosures.
