With Climate Week NYC just over a week away, we’re turning our attention to the global landscape for climate disclosure. Investors and stakeholders around the world have long clamored for more consistent and comparable climate-related disclosures, and in June 2023, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) responded to that call by issuing its first two standards.

In this episode of the ESG Insider, we speak to ISSB Vice Chair Sue Lloyd about what the board hopes to achieve, how it is working with jurisdictions around the world, and what’s next on the standard setter’s agenda.

“This really should be an opportunity for us all to take a step back and to really think about how sustainability risks and opportunities are really important to understand to run a business well, to run a business in a way that you're really sustaining value and creating value in the future,” Sue tells us.
