🗞️ Driving the news: ISS-Corporate has launched its new ISSB IFRS program, a combined software and advisory solution designed to help companies comply with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (S1 and S2)
• The program integrates gap assessments, carbon accounting, climate risk analysis, transition planning, and reporting into a single coordinated offering

🔭 The context: The ISSB, created by the IFRS Foundation in 2021, aims to standardize global sustainability reporting for investors
• As of May 2026, 42 jurisdictions are adopting or committing to adopt the ISSB Standards
• ISS-Corporate’s solution supports both overarching sustainability disclosures (IFRS S1) and climate-specific requirements (IFRS S2), helping firms align governance, risk, and reporting processes with global best practices.

🌍 Why it matters for the planet: By streamlining climate and sustainability reporting, companies can accurately measure and manage greenhouse gas emissions, assess physical and transition climate risks, and set credible decarbonization targets
• This improves corporate transparency, encourages responsible investment, and supports the global transition to a lower-carbon economy

⏭️ What’s next: As adoption of ISSB standards accelerates worldwide, companies would likely integrate reporting tools to meet investor expectations and regulatory requirements

💬 One quote: “As adoption of the ISSB standards accelerates globally, companies need tools that go beyond minimum requirements and enable enduring resilience.” — Reinhilde Weidacher, Head of Corporate Sustainability Services, ISS-Corporate
