Past Webinar | April 2026

corporate sustainability 2026 priorities - boardroom people

For companies navigating ISSB-aligned reporting for the first time, perhaps preparing for AASB S2, the real opportunity is not simply meeting regulatory requirements; it’s building an understanding of climate risks and opportunities, and informing the decision-useful, business-critical decisions that follow.

The webinar draws on high-level analysis of first-year disclosure reports from Australia and experiences from preparers in:

Australia: Adoption of ISSB Standards through the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS)
Mexico: Adoption of ISSB Standards through the Norma Internacional de Información Financiera (NIIF) (UK / EMEA session only)
And across the globe

Neil Stewart, Director of Corporate Outreach at the IFRS Foundation, shared critical perspectives from the ISSB on progress towards a global baseline of sustainability disclosures.

Sarah Mcelholum, Environment and Sustainability Manager at Lactalis, who has been preparing for disclosures, discussed some of the challenges and wins, and two of Anthesis’ disclosure experts shared further practical insights and key takeaways from the first year of reporting under AASB S2 for Group 1 reporters.
