#ISSB Chair Emmanuel Faber has been recognised by the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group for his outstanding contribution to the furtherance of sustainable finance. Award winners were announced at the World Forum on Enterprise & the Environment 2024, University of Oxford's flagship event on enterprise and the environment. Commenting on the award, Emmanuel said: “I am grateful to the University of Oxford’s Sustainable Finance Group for recognising how sustainability is at the core of a well-functioning economy. My experience with the incredible people at Danone showed how much leadership is a collective dynamic. I am honoured to accept this award on behalf of the many brilliant colleagues at the IFRS Foundation, our partners and the broader ecosystem – who are working to bring transparency on value chains and time horizons that are critical for urgently-needed more resilient economics. “Since the ISSB was created at COP26, jurisdictions accounting for around 55% of global gross domestic product have started to introduce ISSB Standards in their regulatory frameworks. More are coming. They will future-proof capital markets and the economy they support.” 👉 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/e84a78kY
The University of Oxford has announced the winners of the Insight Investment – University of Oxford Prize for Greening Finance, the preeminent prize for this important area of research and practice: https://lnkd.in/e84a78kY. 🟢 The 2024 winner for Outstanding Service is Emmanuel Faber, Chair of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and formerly the Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Danone. The Outstanding Service category recognises individuals or not-for-profit organisations who have provided outstanding support for the furtherance of #sustainablefinance. 🟢 The 2024 winner for Outstanding Research is Professor Rob Bauer, Professor of Finance (Chair of Institutional Investors) at Maastricht University and holder of the Elverding Chair on Sustainable Business, Culture and Corporate Regulation. The Outstanding Research category recognises research that helps society better understand how environmental change influences #finance and #investment, and how economic and financial systems can contribute to achieving global environmental #sustainability. The annual Greening Finance Prize was established through a generous endowment provided by Insight Investment, a £663bn global asset and risk manager. The winners were announced at the World Forum on Enterprise & the Environment 2024, Oxford University’s flagship event on enterprise and the environment. Abdallah Nauphal, Chief Executive Officer of Insight Investment, said: “While sustainability practices have evolved to become a significant consideration in long-term investment decision making, research linking finance and sustainability topics is still in its infancy. To better understand how decisions made by the investment industry are likely to influence the financial and environmental outcomes of tomorrow, investors need research incorporating rigorous financial analysis. The research prize recognises quality academic work but also highlights the urgent need for closer collaboration between investors and academics to provide evidence that can increase the resilience of the financial system.” Dr Ben Caldecott, Chair of the Prize Panel and the founding Director of the Oxford Sustainable Finance Group at the University of Oxford, said: “The winners have not only advanced our understanding of how environmental challenges intersect with finance but also offered practical solutions that will shape more resilient and sustainable financial systems. At a time when the world faces unprecedented environmental and economic challenges, recognising and supporting such ground-breaking research and leadership is critical. I am deeply inspired by the contributions of all the recipients and excited to see how their work will influence the future of finance.” Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment - University of Oxford #GreeningFinancePrize IFRS Foundation

📚 13 disclosure-specific materials developed by the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT), which the IFRS Foundation has assumed responsibility for, are available on the IFRS Sustainability Knowledge Hub. The TPT materials are useful for companies applying IFRS S2, which requires that information be disclosed if a company has a transition plan. These materials do not change the requirements in IFRS S2. 🔗 Access the materials and other resources to support the implementation of the ISSB Standards via the link in comments. 👇

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘀... ...today on sustainability disclosure at a seminar arranged by PwC and IFRS Foundation. Here with Emmanuel Faber, Chair of International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and Richard Manley. We at Norges Bank Investment Management ask companies to use, and jurisdictions to adopt, the ISSB Standards as a global baseline. My main message at the panel was that this baseline is critical for cost-effective, decision-useful reporting to investors.
