Description :

Momentum on sustainable development has been steadily accelerating, including in Asia. Emissions mitigation, climate change adaptation, net zero, climate risk assessment, material topics, impact, greenwashing, greenhushing, science-based targets, nature-based solutions, climate technologies and others, are common nomenclature and considerations in the sustainability world.

Sustainability reporting standards play a key role in enabling the trust and transparency which is so needed for the urgent mission ahead of us, as we address many of the challenges and considerations highlighted above. While the call of “harmonisation” of sustainability reporting standards has been heeded, the bar has certainly been raised as sustainability reporting standards continue to evolve. Standards development has moved at breakneck speed, and the attention is now on the Big 4 of the sustainability standards world: The ISSB, CSRD, SEC and the GRI.

This by-invite only session will convene a panel of senior representatives from the global standards bodies as well as professionals from PwC Sustainability practice to discuss what’s next for standards, sustainability reporting updates from the region and misconceptions of ESG vs sustainability.
