CDSB Sunsetting
On 31st January 2022, CDSB is officially closing its doors, and our team is stepping seamlessly over to join the IFRS Foundation to support the newly established International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on 1st February, bringing with them all of the energy, expertise, and ambition that CDSB has deployed since 2007.
On the 27th of January, we will be hosting our final live webinar to reflect on some of the changes we have seen in sustainability reporting in that time, as well as CDSB’s own contribution to the global and ongoing shift in perspective and approach. We will also take a look at the work that still needs to be done in the coming years, and what the ISSB is looking to achieve.
We will hear from some of CDSB’s founding members, including CDSB Chair Richard Samans, CDP CEO Paul Simpson, CDSB Managing Director Mardi McBrien, CDSB Founding Director Lois Guthrie, as well as from some of our board members, allies, and key contributors over the years, such as New Zealand Minister for Climate Change, James Shaw.
The event will also see the launch of CDSB’s last publication on reporting social information in mainstream annual reports.
We are also delighted to be joined by the newly announced Chair of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Emmanuel Faber, who will provide some insight into the ambitions of our future work at the ISSB.
