Past Event: Tuesday, November 19, 2024

The implementation of International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards are fast approaching. Listed companies must adopt sustainability reporting by FY2025, with large non-listed companies following by FY2027. 

With the short timeline leading up to the implementation, do you fully understand the new sustainability reporting requirements? Does the business have the right mechanisms to measure and disclose what is needed under the new rules?

In collaboration with the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC), the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) and ESGpedia, Grant Thornton Singapore is pleased to present an informative session to help you understand the requirements for the implementation to assist in your preparation for the mandatory sustainability reporting.

This session is curated for companies that will be required to report using the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards adopted by the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

The session will cover

  • Common gaps in understanding and implementation, and how to tackle them
  • Support from NTUC's Training & Placement Ecosystem and NTUC ARC Framework
  • The highs and lows of an established business' sustainability journey
  • Technical approaches to reporting using ISSB
  • Enabling your reporting journey through technology
