To support boards and senior leaders in overseeing sustainability-related financial disclosures, this interactive workshop, hosted by the London Stock Exchange and facilitated by experts from the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative, IFRS Foundation, Chapter Zero Alliance and Chapter Zero, introduces board directors to the governance responsibilities associated with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2) and provides practical tools to help boards oversee sustainability-related risks, opportunities, and disclosures.

The workshop draws on the SSE Model Guidance on Board Oversight of ISSB-Aligned Reporting, which provides practical guidance and questions boards can use to strengthen oversight of sustainability-related financial disclosures. Participants will explore how boards can enhance governance, risk oversight and strategic decision-making related to sustainability, while ensuring disclosures are credible, decision-useful and aligned with investor expectations.

Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role of boards in overseeing ISSB-aligned sustainability disclosures

• Update risk management guidelines for sustainability-related risks and opportunities

• Strengthen governance structures to fit sustainability topics

• Assess the credibility and quality of sustainability-related financial disclosures
