The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is seeking feedback on the Exposure Draft Methodology for Enhancing the International Applicability of the SASB Standards and SASB Standards Taxonomy Updates. The enhancements proposed in the Exposure Draft will preserve the structure, completeness and intent of the SASB Standards. The enhancements are designed to ensure that entities can apply the SASB Standards regardless of the jurisdiction in which they operate or the type of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) they apply.
The ISSB is seeking feedback on narrowly the targeted revision approaches the Methodology encompasses and associated updates to the SASB Standards Taxonomy the revisions may require. The Exposure Draft describes how the proposed methodology could be implemented and includes examples of proposed revisions.
