ISSB Chair Emmanuel Faber: Leading Sustainable Finance Transformation
With endorsements from the G20, UN, World Bank, IOSCO, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) stands at the forefront of standard-setting efforts, shaping the future of sustainable finance and reporting worldwide.
Founded in 2021 at COP26 in Glasgow, under the stewardship of Emmanuel Faber as Chair, the ISSB has become a globally recognized and respected standard-setter.
Within its first two years, the ISSB has issued the inaugural IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards: IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. It reduced the ‘alphabet soup’ of sustainability disclosures by incorporating standards and frameworks from the Value Reporting Foundation, the Climate Disclosure Standards Board, and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) into ISSB Standards.

Emmanuel Faber, a pioneer for decades - leading as CEO and Chairman of Danone to become a global leader in corporate sustainability - was named one of the "World’s 50 Greatest leaders" by Fortune. This background makes him the perfect fit for the ISSB to revolutionize sustainability reporting.
