In May 2023, the ISSB issued its Request for Information Consultation on Agenda Priorities. This consultation document outlines the ISSB's intention to address teh information needs of investors and seeks feedback on four potential projects that are currently under consideration.
The first three research projects focus on exploring sustainability-related risks and opportunities associated with crucial aspects, namely biodiversity, ecosystems, and ecosystem services. Additionally, the ISSB aims to examine the impact of human capital and human rights.
The fourth research project aims to investigate integration in reporting. Its objective is to explore how to incorporate information in financial reporting that goes beyond the current requirements related to connected information in IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures.
The Request for Information will remain open for comments until 1 September 2023.
