New year, new sustainability disclosure standards?
In this episode of ESG and the City, we dive into the latest developments from the IFRS Foundation and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). With over 1,000 companies already referencing ISSB standards and 30 jurisdictions integrating them into their frameworks, we explore the global momentum behind IFRS S1 and S2. Join Arwen and Maitrai as they unpack the opportunities for streamlining ESG reporting, discuss phased compliance options, and highlight why early adoption is a strategic advantage for CFOs and CSOs preparing for year-end reporting. Plus, a thought-provoking question to end: is your ESG reporting ready for the future?

In the very first episode of this podcast, Arwen and Cameron dive into the highlights the recent UN COP 16 that concluded in Cali, Colombia. The biodiversity conference wrapped up with mixed emotions. There were some standout achievements, such as recognising international rights for Indigenous peoples and a declaration to accelerate biodiversity impact. But one major issue loomed large: the growing financing gap for these ambitious commitments.
Join us as we unpack the critical role of finance in driving biodiversity practices, the potential returns for the industry, and practical resources to get started on integrating biodiversity into your business models and investment strategies.
Tune in for a concise, insightful chat on how we can bridge the gap between biodiversity goals and meaningful action!
