Draft Comment Letter for International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Request for Information

The ISSB has recently published an RfI to inform its initial two-year work plan. The UKEB today issued a draft comment letter for public consultation in response to the ISSB’s RfI and is seeking UK stakeholder feedback.
The UK Government has asked the UKEB to consider connectivity between the ISSB Sustainability Disclosure Standards and IASB Accounting Standards. The UKEB’s letter is therefore focused on this specific area.
Please read the draft comment letter here. Stakeholder feedback can be provided either via the Invitation to Comment form or by email  to [email protected]. Stakeholder comments are welcome until midday on 23 July 2023.
