ISSB — IFRS S1 and S2.

The ISSB's global baseline for sustainability-related and climate-related financial disclosures — climate metrics prepared with evidence, the four pillars organised for review.

What it asks for

IFRS S1 sets the general requirements for sustainability-related financial information; IFRS S2 applies them to climate. Both are organised around four pillars — governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets — and S2 requires Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse-gas emissions measured under the GHG Protocol, climate-related risks and opportunities, and the metrics used to manage them.

Data and evidence

What the disclosures rest on.

Disclosure areaData requiredEvidence that supports it
Metrics and targets — GHG emissionsScope 1, 2 and 3 emissions; intensity; targets and progressMeter readings, fuel records, utility bills, supplier evidence, factor library with vintages, target documentation
Metrics and targets — other climate metricsEnergy mix, transition and physical risk exposure metrics as used internallyMeters, asset registers, internal risk metrics — reported evidence, reviewed
GovernanceBoard and management oversight of climate mattersBoard records, charters, minutes — held as reviewed documents
StrategyClimate-related risks and opportunities, effects on business model and financial position, scenario analysisRisk registers, scenario analysis outputs, financial-effects analysis — reviewed documents
Risk managementProcesses to identify, assess and manage climate riskProcess documentation, risk registers
Connectivity to financial statementsReconciliation of metrics to financial reporting periods and entitiesFinance system extracts, entity and period mapping

How EcoVeraZ prepares it

What is in place, and what is not yet.

Trust Center
Demonstrated in the productPrepared — evidence organised, binding manualPlanned
  • Climate edition of the report aligned to IFRS S2 (via the AASB S2-aligned edition)Demonstrated

    The platform renders a climate-disclosure edition in the S2 four-pillar structure from the shared evidence base.

  • Scope 1 and 2 with an evidence row per value; Scope 3 for supplier categoriesDemonstrated

    The same KPI engines, factor library and supplier module shown across this site.

  • IFRS S1 general sustainability-related disclosuresPlanned

    A dedicated S1 edition is roadmap work; S1 information is held today as reviewed documents.

  • Scenario analysis and climate value-at-risk computationPlanned

    Scenario outputs are held as reviewed documents; computation on the platform is roadmap work.

  • Connectivity to financial statementsPrepared

    Entity and period mapping is maintained by the preparer; automated reconciliation is not provided.

Questions

Answers, at a glance.

Is EcoVeraZ an ISSB reporting tool?

It prepares the metrics and organises the evidence and pillar documentation that an IFRS S2 disclosure rests on. The disclosure itself, its judgements and any assurance remain with the entity and its auditor.

Which parts of S2 have measured evidence today?

Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and energy metrics draw on metered and invoiced data; Scope 3 draws on supplier evidence for the categories the supplier module covers.

What about S1?

S1 general disclosures are organised as reviewed documents today; a dedicated S1 edition is on the roadmap.

Adoption of IFRS S1 / S2 is decided jurisdiction by jurisdiction; the effective dates cited are the ISSB's and should be confirmed for each reporting entity. Framework names are the property of their respective owners and are referenced for identification only. EcoVeraZ prepares evidence for disclosure and review; it does not certify compliance and does not issue assurance opinions.
