ISSB launches consultation on its future work program
May 04, 2023
On May 4, 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) launched a public consultation to seek broad public input on the strategic direction and overall balance of its future work programme as well as sustainability-related matters the ISSB could take up by publishing a request for information. The Request for Information also contains a section with questions on the collaboration with the IASB. The deadline for submitting comments is September 1, 2023.
The ISSB consultation on agenda priorities was first discussed in July 2022 and it was decided that the ISSB will develop and pursue its initial work plan subject to public consultation on agenda priorities.
The ISSB decided to publish a Request for Information to gather views on:
- the strategic direction and balance of ISSB activities;
- the suitability of proposed criteria for assessing the priority of sustainability-related matters (including topics, industries and activities) that could be added to the ISSB’s work plan; and
- a proposed list of sustainability-related matters (including topics, industries and activities) that could be added to the ISSB’s work plan.
For further details, refer to the press release and the Request for Information on the IFRS website.
