Eumedion's Priorities for the ISSB: Human Rights, Integrated Reporting and Governance
News ยท 31-08-2023
Eumedion urges the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to prioritise the development of new thematic standards in the areas of human rights and integrated reporting. In addition, Eumedion suggests that the existing and anticipated future governance requirements for each thematic standard should be complemented by a separate set of reporting standards focused on the governance of the entity as a whole. These views are expressed in Eumedion's response to the ISSB Consultation on its Agenda Priorities.
Subsequently, the ISSB should proceed with establishing standards on human capital and biodiversity. Eumedion also emphasises the importance of continuous support for companies as they work to implement ISSB standards. Such support is crucial for encouraging the largely voluntary global adoption of ISSB reporting standards.
