The Consultation Paper which has just been published sets out possible ways the Foundation might contribute to the development of global sustainability standards by broadening its current remit beyond the development of financial reporting standards and using its experience in international standard-setting.

This consultation can be accessed on the IASB site.

Comments may be submitted no later than 31 December 2020.
