:"The proposed International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) could prompt consolidation in the disclosure of financially material sustainability information by corporates and financial institutions within a globally accepted framework, Fitch Ratings says. 

:The large-scale adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), their familiarity and widely accepted credibility makes the expected ISSB launch a significant event that could facilitate widespread and consistent sustainability disclosures across sectors, although their efficacy would depend on ISSB standards’ final form and their implementation by regional and national authorities."
