• Understand how global investors are seeking voluntary ISSB disclosure in parallel with regulatory mandates in many countries
• Discuss the proposed ISSB requirements and how they incorporate the TCFD recommendations and SASB Standards
• Determine how corporate reporters can gather, verify and report investor-grade ESG data
