ISCA supports the proposed International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance (IESSA) as a common set of ethics and independence standards for use by all SAPs. The IESSA is included in a new Part 5 of the Code to be framework neutral and profession-agnostic and equivalent to the standards which currently apply to financial statement audits. The goal of these standards is to mitigate greenwashing and elevate the quality of sustainability information, thereby fostering greater public and institutional trust in sustainability reporting and assurance.
