In case you missed it, here is some of our top content issued or updated in April.

It was a busy week of global sustainability reporting developments with new guidance on interoperability of the EU standards (the European Sustainability Reporting Standards) and global baseline standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) (the IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards); a delay in the issuance of EU sector and non-EU standards, and issuance of the ISSB’s digital sustainability taxonomy.

On May 2, the IFRS Foundation and EFRAG published guidance to illustrate the alignment between the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards and the EU standards. The guidance:

On April 29, the European Council approved a delay of the deadline for adoption of certain sector-specific and non-EU European Sustainability Reporting Standards by two years until June 2026.

The directive only delays when the additional standards will be issued. It does not impact the timing of when companies are required to file their initial Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reporting using the sector agnostic standards that became law in December 2023. The first filers will still be required to report in 2025 on 2024 information.

On April 30, the ISSB published its IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Taxonomy. Use of the taxonomy will enable stakeholders to search, extract, and compare sustainability-related financial disclosures (similar to XBRL). It neither introduces new requirements nor affects a company’s compliance with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. This taxonomy is different from the EU’s green taxonomy, which is a list of economic activities that can be considered environmentally sustainable to help direct investments.
