ISSB-GRI Interoperability Programme

What's the Programme About?

In today’s evolving landscape, robust and standardised sustainability reporting is no longer a choice, but a necessity. This intensive programme is designed to equip the participants with practical knowledge and strategic insights to navigate the complexities of global sustainability disclosure frameworks.

The programme will focus on the interoperability between the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). It will also deliberate on how organisations can fulfil the requirements and expectations of the reporting standards while aligning with the National Sustainability Reporting Framework (NSRF).

Why should you attend the programme?

The ISSB-GRI Interoperability programme is designed to provide insights into how Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)-compliant reporting interoperates with the IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) aligned with the NSRF.
