You are invited to join LSEG and the IFRS Foundation on 24th June for an in-person market open and morning event to kick off London Climate Action Week. The event will focus on the progress ISSB have made a year on from their launch. 

This is an invitation-only event hosted by David Schwimmer, CEO, LSEG and Sue Lloyd, Vice-Chair, ISSB. The event brings together key stakeholders to discuss the importance of implementing the standards as they form the basis for high-quality sustainability information for investors. Invited guests include corporate sustainability leaders, policymakers, chief sustainability officers, CEOs and finance executives. 

Registration starts at 7.30am for the market open ceremony at 8am. The speaker agenda begins at 8.40am with opening remarks from David Schwimmer in the LSEG auditorium, followed by a keynote speech and panel discussions, closing at 10.30am.

In addition to David Schwimmer and Sue Lloyd, confirmed speakers include Amanda Blanc, CEO, Aviva; and Mary Schapiro, Vice-Chair, GFANZ.

UNSSE/ISSB Workshop (10:45am-2:45pm)
Since the IFRS Foundation launched their S1 and S2 requirements, the UNSSE have supported their effective implementation through continued capacity building activities. Through this in-person training workshop the UNSSE will help guide participants to effectively navigate these standards by helping identify sustainability-related issues, integrate them into strategy decision making and governance processes, and measure progress and resilience. 


NZDPU Roundtable Workshop (3:15pm-5:15pm)
Climate transition-related data is required to make accurate, informed decisions in the net-zero transition - from corporate transition planning and public policy development, to assessing the carbon footprint and associated climate risk of specific investments. Given the growing importance of more robust climate disclosures and access to this data, the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and the Net-Zero Data Public Utility (NZDPU) will host a facilitated corporate roundtable discussion. This roundtable will focus on how a global platform might be successfully developed and generally improve the disclosure and use of climate data in the UK market. If you would like to join this corporate roundtable discussion, please indicate your interest in the tick box on the right.
