Corporate Sustainability Disclosures as the Foundation for Transition Finance - 03 Dec 2023

This panel will showcase the ASEAN Capital Markets Forum’s (ACMF) collaboration with the IFRS Foundation’s ISSB to promote consistent and comparable corporate sustainability disclosures in ASEAN, which is foundational to supporting the transition towards sustainable ASEAN capital markets. Given the existing high adoption of GRI standards in the ASEAN region, the panel will also discuss the need for interoperability between, and the complementarity of, GRI and ISSB Standards and how GRI and IFRS Foundation are working together to deliver practical guidance with ASEAN as a priority area of focus. Against this backdrop, the panel will also discuss the development of Singapore’s sustainability reporting roadmap for ISSB-aligned climate-related disclosures for companies in Singapore.
