The International Sustainability Standards Board sets a global baseline for sustainability-related financial disclosures through IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. ISSB standards help investors understand how sustainability and climate issues affect prospects.
SECP has adopted IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 with phased implementation for listed companies and certain regulated entities. Applicability depends on entity type and timeline. Organizations should confirm their position against the current SECP roadmap.
Phased SECP requirements primarily address listed companies and selected public-interest entities. Private companies may still face supply-chain, banking and investor requests for ESG information and often prepare early.
A materiality assessment identifies sustainability issues that could reasonably affect prospects and that matter to stakeholders. Under an ISSB lens, financial materiality for investors is central to prioritization.
A readiness assessment can complete in weeks. Building durable ESG reporting processes—governance, data, controls and dry-run disclosures—typically spans multiple quarters depending on starting maturity.
Yes. We produce IFRS S1 / IFRS S2 implementation roadmaps with near-term and 12-month milestones, dependencies and ownership.
IFRS S1 sets general requirements for sustainability-related financial disclosures. IFRS S2 focuses on climate-related disclosures, including risks, metrics and targets, within the broader IFRS S1 architecture.
Not necessarily. Many organizations begin with ownership, templates, evidence trails and controls in existing systems. Software helps once definitions and processes stabilize.
Yes. Early work can be proportionate: clear ownership, a short list of material issues, basic metrics and evidence discipline without overbuilding a listed-company programme.
No. We provide ESG advisory and implementation support only—not audit, assurance, attestation or certification.
Credible sustainability reporting requires board and management ownership, committee oversight and decision-useful reporting. We often connect ESG consulting with corporate governance advisory.
Climate risk assessment identifies physical and transition risks that could affect the business and informs IFRS S2-aligned disclosures, metrics and management responses.
