The guidance, ‘ESRS – ISSB Standards Interoperability Guidance' [pdf, 910kb] aims to illustrate some of the key areas of interoperability and facilitate compliance with the requirements of both sets of standards, regardless of whether the entity starts with European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) or the standards issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
Background
The ISSB, together with the European Commission (EC) and EFRAG, have been working closely throughout development of their respective standards in order to achieve a high degree of alignment – particularly focusing on the interoperability of climate-related reporting. As a result of this cooperation, the ESRS and the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS SDS) have been developed with:
- an aligned definition of financial materiality
- common defined terms, and
- a high degree of alignment of the required climate-related disclosures.
The ESRS contain 12 specific standards, two cross-cutting standards and 10 topic-specific standards across elements of environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. This contrasts to the IFRS SDS, which currently contains only two standards: IFRS S1 ‘General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information’ and IFRS S2 ‘Climate-related Disclosures’.
![Overview of IFRS S1 and IFRS S2](/contentassets/08f270dbf9754f1a8091f71b20759c42/listing-article---que-son-las-niif-s1-y-niif-s2.jpg)
The interoperability guidance
Although a high degree of alignment has been achieved during the development of the ESRS and IFRS SDS, the guidance also highlights some differences that reporting entities need to be aware of when they are reporting compliance under both sets of standards.
The guidance is split into four sections.
Comments on general reporting requirements in ESRS and IFRS SDS
This section focuses on general reporting requirements including materiality, presentation and disclosures for sustainability topics other than climate.
- Materiality – while the definition of financial materiality is aligned in both sets of standards, the ESRS have an additional requirement for impact materiality to be considered. Entities starting with the IFRS SDS will need to perform additional impact materiality assessments to comply with ESRS.
- Presentation – the ESRS have stricter requirements regarding the location of disclosures. As a result, the requirements in the ESRS meet the principles set out in IFRS S1 for entities starting with ESRS. For entities starting with IFRS SDS, an assessment will need to be made to ensure that the location of the disclosures meets the ESRS requirements.
- Disclosures for sustainability topics other than climate – the ESRS set out nine specific sustainability topics in addition to climate that require disclosures, each of which are covered by a dedicated reporting standard. Currently, the IFRS SDS only have one dedicated topic standard (for climate), and as a result, disclosure requirements are less prescribed. However, IFRS S1 does require an entity to disclose sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to affect the entity.
In the absence of other potential topic specific standards, IFRS S1 requires an entity to utilise judgement to identify information to report and sets out certain sources of guidance that can be used to help identify appropriate disclosures. ESRS are listed as one of the sources of guidance, to the extent that ESRS assist an entity in meeting the objective of IFRS S1 and do not conflict with IFRS SDS.
Common climate-related disclosures
This section illustrates the high degree of alignment of climate-related disclosures between ESRS and the IFRS SDS and includes a reference table that identifies the corresponding ESRS or IFRS SDS reference. This can be used as a resource to help entities better understand what requirement an existing disclosure fulfils in the other set of standards and facilitates a complete set of disclosures when moving from one set of standards to the other.
ESRS to IFRS S2 (climate): information that an entity starting with ESRS needs to know when also applying IFRS SDS to enable compliance with both sets of standards
This section provides some specific and targeted areas for an entity to consider when it starts reporting under ESRS and then also wants to report compliance with IFRS SDS. It highlights areas where IFRS SDS have additional information where there are no corresponding disclosure requirements in ESRS.
The topics covered in this section are as follows:
- transition plan assumptions
- scenario analysis
- industry-based metrics
- greenhouse gas emissions: disaggregation
- climate-related opportunities
- capital deployment
- carbon credits: any other factors
- financed emissions.
IFRS S2 (climate) to ESRS: information that an entity starting with IFRS SDS needs to know when also applying ESRS to enable compliance with both sets of standards
This section provides some specific and targeted points that an entity needs to consider when it initially reports under IFRS SDS and also wants to report compliance with ESRS. This includes specific choices the entity needs to make under IFRS SDS as well as incremental or additional requirements under ESRS.
The featured topics for specific choices entities need to make are as follows:
- Scenario analysis
- Greenhouse gas emissions: disaggregation
- Carbon credits
- Quantitative information: single amount or range
- Climate-related physical and transition risks
- Greenhouse gas emission reduction targets
- Greenhouse gas emissions: organisational boundary
Incremental and additional requirements
The interoperability guidance contains two tables. The first one lists the disclosure requirements set out in ESRS 2 ‘General Disclosures’ that do not have a corresponding requirement in IFRS S1 or IFRS S2. The second table lists disclosure requirements set out in ESRS E1 ‘Climate Change’ that do not have an equivalent in IFRS S1 or IFRS S2.
Our thoughts
We are pleased to see the release of this interoperability guidance which has been highly anticipated by entities. We believe it will provide helpful guidance for entities wishing or required to state compliance with both sets of standards.
