Advocacy in Action – A closer look at the ISSB sustainability proposals
In this episode of Advocacy in Action, Michelle Mullen, vice president of Global Advocacy for the Association, is joined by David Hackett, a technical policy manager, to discuss the sustainability and climate-related proposals from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the European Commission’s work on sustainability reporting. They touch the importance of reaching one global benchmark sustainability reporting standard and opportunities for the accounting profession, such as making the business case for sustainability within their organizations, as well as the increasing emphasis on governance, controls and risk.
