On 31st January 2022, the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) was consolidated into the IFRS Foundation to support the work of the newly established International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). While this site and its resources remain relevant for preparers looking to improve sustainability disclosure until such time as the ISSB issues its IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards on such topics, no further work or guidance will be produced or published by CDSB. For further information please visit the IFRS website.

About the session:

In order to direct capital flows towards sustainable, resilient, and water secure businesses, investors require clear insight into how companies manage water resources. What is decision-useful information for investors, how should companies disclose it, and what does it look like?

Join this event to hear different perspectives from corporate, investor and standard-setting backgrounds and gain insight into what effective water-related reporting looks like, how it is done and why understanding water risks is increasingly important.
