IFRS Foundation publishes educational material about using ISSB Industry-based Guidance when applying ISSB Standards

The IFRS Foundation has published educational material to help companies understand the role of the ISSB industry-based guidance—which collectively refers to the SASB Standards and the Industry-based Guidance on Implementing IFRS S2—when applying IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB Standards).
