Sustainability Insights for Leaders: Unlocking the IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 Reporting Journey

Introduction

The concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has gained immense traction in recent years as businesses have come to recognize the importance of sustainable growth and corporate responsibility. ESG reporting is now considered a critical component of corporate reporting, as it provides stakeholders with essential information to make informed decisions about investing, lending, and partnering with businesses. 

The sustainability landscape is evolving now more than ever and it is essential for companies to stay up to date with the latest frameworks and regulations for ESG Reporting.
