The IFRS Foundation is a not-for-profit, public interest organisation established to develop high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted accounting and sustainability disclosure standards.
Our Standards are developed by our two standard-setting boards, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
IFRS Accounting Standards are developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The IASB is an independent standard-setting body within the IFRS Foundation.
IFRS Accounting Standards are, in effect, a global accounting language—companies in more than 140 jurisdictions are required to use them when reporting on their financial health. The IASB is supported by technical staff and a range of advisory bodies.
IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards are developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The ISSB is an independent standard-setting body within the IFRS Foundation.
IFRS Sustainability Standards are developed to enhance investor-company dialogue so that investors receive decision-useful, globally comparable sustainability-related disclosures that meet their information needs. The ISSB is supported by technical staff and a range of advisory bodies.
IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures was issued by the ISSB on 26 June 2023 and has an effective date of 1 January 2024.
The ISSB has undertaken a number of activities to support consistent application of the Standard. You can find information about all these activities by following the links below. This includes educational materials prepared since the Standard was issued, information about the upcoming activities of the Transition Implementation Group (TIG) and information about the ISSB Knowledge Hub.

The ISSB has established a Transition Implementation Group (TIG) to support the implementation of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. Details about the TIG including terms of reference and submission guidelines for stakeholder questions can be found here.
The IFRS Sustainability knowledge hub is a free online resource for preparers, designed to help them understand and get ready for applying IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.
The IFRS Foundation offers a broad range of products and services to enhance global sustainability disclosures, including supporting the widespread adoption and implementation of IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards and integrated reporting. Other resources can be found here.
Although the ISSB does not provide a formal technical enquiry service, we encourage stakeholders to make us aware of implementation questions relating to IFRS S2.
Please see the Transition Implementation Group (TIG) Section for information on submitting an implementation question.
