Global momentum toward adopting the ISSB’s sustainability disclosure standards continues to strengthen, with at least 36 jurisdictions making significant advancements by mid-2025. These jurisdictions, spanning multiple continents, are actively working to integrate the ISSB’s standards into their regulatory frameworks, signaling broad international recognition of the importance of consistent sustainability disclosures. The IFRS Foundation has been instrumental in supporting this adoption process by providing comprehensive jurisdictional profiles, stakeholder engagement, and technical assistance to local standard setters and regulators. This progress represents a critical step toward global harmonization of sustainability reporting, enhancing comparability of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information for investors across markets. As more jurisdictions come on board, companies can expect clearer guidance and greater alignment in sustainability disclosures, helping drive sustainable investment and corporate accountability worldwide.
