Alignment in sustainability reporting, such as between ISSB Standards and ESRS, benefits organizations by reducing duplication, complexity, and fragmentation. This helps provide decision-useful sustainability-related information for investors, though compliance with one set does not ensure compliance with the other.
Many companies will be required or will choose to disclose information about sustainability-related matters using both #ISSB Standards and #ESRS.    The ISSB bilaterally engaged with the European Commission and EFRAG, in parallel to the development of the ISSB Standards and ESRS.    This engagement focused on:  ⩠Where disclosure requirements could be aligned and alignment of definitions â© Where disclosure requirements were unique to either set of standards; and â© How to align key concepts.    Due to this work, the IFRS Foundation, the European Commission and EFRAG achieved a high degree of alignment of climate-disclosure requirements in ESRS and ISSB Standards. Alignment helps reduce duplication in reporting, complexity and fragmentation, to help provide decision-useful sustainability-related information for investors.  However, compliance with one set of standards does not automatically ensure compliance with the other.    ð Find out more about the high-degree of alignment, particularly on climate, and how to comply with both sets of standards in the ESRSâISSB Standards Interoperability Guidance: https://lnkd.in/dE5KNHeZ      #IFRSsustainability #ISSBstandards #interoperability
