Summary:
The IFRS Foundation has launched new e-learning modules to support implementation of International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB)Standards.
Article:
The IFRS Foundation has released new e-learning modules accessible through the IFRS Sustainability Knowledge Hub to support companies in getting started with understanding the Standards issued by the ISSB – Introduction to IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures.
The 4 self-paced modules include a mixture of written and visual content and interactive knowledge checks, designed to build foundational knowledge of ISSB Standards. The modules are:
- Introduction to the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards;
- Introduction to IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information;
- Introduction to IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures; and
- Integrated sustainability disclosures and organisational considerations.
Each module takes less than one hour. At the end of each module, users have the option to sit a short, multiple-choice assessment to receive a certificate of completion.
Available for free with an IFRS.org account, the e-learning modules serve as an introductory resource for companies beginning their preparation for sustainability-related disclosures and for any other stakeholders interested in learning more about ISSB Standards.
