The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) issued its inaugural IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards—S1 and S2—in June 2023, establishing a high-quality global baseline for investor-focused sustainability disclosures. Endorsed by IOSCO, these standards are gaining widespread adoption and reinforcing confidence in their integration into regulatory frameworks worldwide.

As corporate sustainability disclosures play an increasingly vital role in investment analysis, SEC Thailand co-hosted a webinar together with CFA Institute and CFA Society Thailand, where it explored how a standardized reporting framework and widely accepted metrics enhance the reliability and comparability of sustainability data, making it more decision-useful for investors, analysts, and investment managers. The session also provided practical insights into incorporating ISSB-aligned information into investment analysis, equipping investors with the tools to make well-informed decisions. Additionally, viewers would receive an update on the global implementation of ISSB standards.
