TNFD, IFRS Foundation to enable nature-related financial disclosures in new deal

It is built upon the ongoing work of the International Sustainability Standards Board.

The Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and IFRS Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) on developing nature-related financial disclosures for capital market use.

Under the MoU, ISSB and TNFD will share knowledge to inform the ISSB’s Biodiversity, Ecosystems and Ecosystem Service initiative and nature-related aspects of its SASB standards enhancement work.

Both organisations will further explore joint market engagement and capacity-building initiatives, including other key partner organisations.

The ISSB’s focus is on meeting the information needs of investors about how companies’ sustainability-related risks and opportunities affect companies’ prospects.

The ISSB’s research on nature-related disclosures will be subject to the IFRS Foundation’s due process, including public consultation.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
