ISSB consultation on agenda priorities
Background
The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) will develop and pursue its initial work plan subject to public consultation on agenda priorities.
As a first step in the project, the ISSB published 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.
The feedback received will inform the ISSB’s publication of its work plan for the first two years following the consultation.
Current status of the project
The project was first discussed by the ISSB in July 2022. A request for information was published on 4 May 2023 with comments requested by 1 September 2023.
