NGX RegCo, ISSB, FRC to host webinar on sustainability disclosure standards

NGX Regulation Limited (NGX RegCo) in collaboration with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), Financial Reporting Council (FRC) of Nigeria, is set to host 3-day workshop/webinar on sustainability disclosure standards for companies as well as investors in the capital market.

The workshop/webinar which will run from June 6-8, 2023 is organized in preparation for the imminent release of the ISSB’s first two IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, better known as IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.

These documents are based on the principles, concepts and indicators of existing sustainability frameworks and standards used voluntarily in many jurisdictions globally, including the TCFD Recommendations and the SASB Standards.

This webinar series will explore the basic concepts underpinning the SASB Standards, highlighting how these were developed to facilitate cost-effective industry-based disclosure by preparers that yields decision-useful information for investors.

Furthermore, the series will also highlight how companies and investors are using the SASB Standards around the world while pointing companies to practical tools to get started.

The series will include industry-specific sessions to explore how the SASB Standards apply to the oil & gas, telecommunications, financials, food and beverage and consumer goods industries and sectors.
