By March 2025, the IFRS Foundation announced that 36 jurisdictions worldwide had adopted or were actively integrating ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Standards into their regulatory frameworks. This reflected accelerated global momentum since the board’s launch in 2021 and the first effective date in 2024.
This broad adoption included major markets across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, highlighting ISSB’s success in establishing a single global baseline to improve sustainability reporting comparability and investor confidence.
The convergence of local reporting requirements with ISSB standards minimized fragmentation and facilitated cross-border investment decisions grounded in consistent ESG information.
Companies and auditors around the world reported improved clarity and focus in disclosures, although some regions noted challenges ahead in enforcement and capacity development.
