ESG Credentials

To ensure that our ESG advisory services are continuously cutting-edge, Impact Cooperative aligns to both international guidelines and single-jurisdiction regulations. The highest authority for global determination of ESG standards is the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation. They not only oversee global financial accounting standards through the IASB, but have unified the largest developers of ESG standards into the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). This landmark achievement seeks to consolidate global ESG reporting to a single framework and standards that match the rigor of financial reporting.

    Framework

    In line with the ISSB recommendations and the majority of individual jurisdiction regulations, Impact Cooperative implements the Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) as the framework for ESG management. Impact Cooperative maintains credentials from all courses of the TCFD Knowledge Hub, maintained by CDP.

  • FSA Credential Value Reporting Foundation

    Standard

    The ISSB has determined that the basis for all future ESG standards are the industry-specific standards established by the Value Reporting Foundation (formerly SASB). Impact Cooperative maintains the Fundamental Sustainability Accounting credential for SASB standards, which signifies mastery of ESG principles and applications for industries and individual corporate entities.

  • Regulations

    In many jurisdictions around the world, legal requirements for ESG and sustainability reporting have been enshrined prior to the establishment of the ISSB. In many countries, the TCFD framework is the guiding document for regulations. In others, such as Hong Kong and India, national rules for sustainability reporting have been developed independently. Impact Cooperative maintains an active database of ESG requirements for all jurisdictions applicable to our clients. We provide simplified mapping of ESG regulations with global reporting standards to provide streamlined sustainability management capabilities.
