Overview

The Financial Implications of ESG: TCFD, ISSB, and IFRS Frameworks and Reporting

In today’s evolving business landscape, integrating financial performance and sustainability into a cohesive narrative is essential for long-term success. Integrated reporting reflects a commitment to sustainability, aligning with the values of responsible investors and enhancing decision-making through a comprehensive view of a company’s strategy and performance. This approach fosters open communication, strengthens stakeholder engagement, and builds trust in the organization.

Frameworks such as TCFD, ISSB, and IFRS provide a roadmap for creating integrated reports that connect financial data with sustainability insights. By bridging the gap between financial and non-financial disclosures, these frameworks enhance transparency, allowing stakeholders to understand how organizations manage resources and risks. Incorporating ESG considerations enables investors to better assess potential risks and identify long-term value-creation opportunities. Ultimately, this empowers organizations to shape a future where financial success and sustainability are intertwined, benefiting all stakeholders.

This workshop focuses on aligning ESG considerations with financial strategy, guided by TCFD, ISSB, and IFRS frameworks to create an integrated reporting approach. Participants will explore how these frameworks support transparency in climate-related disclosures, facilitating the assessment and communication of value creation across financial, environmental, and social dimensions.

The workshop emphasizes the critical role of governance structures in managing climate risks, ensuring these risks are strategically addressed and communicated in financial statements. It is designed to equip participants with a practical understanding of integrated reporting, enabling them to develop ESG reports that adhere to global standards and resonate with stakeholders.
