ISSB Member

International Sustainability Standards Board—Call for a member from Asia–Oceania Who we are The IFRS Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit organisation created in 2001 to develop—in the public interest—high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted standards for financial reporting, and to promote and facilitate their adoption. The Standards—IFRS ® Accounting Standards and IFRS ® Sustainability Disclosure Standards—are collectively referred to as IFRS® Standards. They are set by the Foundation’s two independent standard-setting boards, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), using a rigorous, inclusive and transparent due process. The IFRS Foundation Trustees oversee the IASB and the ISSB and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities. The ISSB’s Standards provide a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures designed to meet investors’ information needs. Jurisdictions around the world—currently close to 50, representing 60% of global GDP—are in the process of adopting or using the Standards. The ISSB works with the IASB to ensure that a company’s sustainability-related financial disclosures work well with its financial statements, providing investors with transparent and decision-useful information about a company’s financial position, performance and sustainability-related risks and opportunities. While the ISSB’s Standards can be applied together with the IFRS Accounting Standards, they need not be applied together. The ISSB comprises professionally and geographically diverse senior experts with experience in sustainability and its reporting, gained through backgrounds such as preparers, investors, standard-setters, regulators, auditors, sustainability specialists and academics. The ISSB members and staff are based in the Foundation’s offices in Beijing, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, San Francisco and Tokyo. Full details about the ISSB—as well as the Foundation’s structure, activities and key personnel—can be found here .
