# ISSB IFRS S1/S2 for Finance and ESG Teams

> A mentor-led programme helping finance and ESG teams understand and apply IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 sustainability disclosure requirements. Through practical scenarios, learners explore governance, risk, metrics, and climate disclosures aligned with the ISSB framework.

## Overview

Sustainability disclosure expectations are rapidly evolving as organisations face growing pressure from regulators, investors, and stakeholders to provide consistent and decision-useful ESG information. The ISSB standards IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 establish a global baseline for sustainability and climate-related disclosures connected to financial reporting.

This mentor-led programme helps finance and ESG teams understand the structure, intent, and practical application of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Through practical scenarios, participants explore how sustainability-related risks and opportunities link to governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics disclosures expected by global capital markets.

Across two days, learners examine the architecture of the ISSB framework, climate-related disclosure requirements, and implementation approaches organisations can use to integrate sustainability data into financial reporting processes. The programme focuses on real-world reporting workflows, cross-functional collaboration, and practical readiness for sustainability disclosures.
