Global sustainability reporting moves closer to common standards, study finds

Global sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly standardized as more large companies adopt, or plan to adopt, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), according to a study by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), AICPA, and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). The research, which reviewed approximately 1,400 companies across 22 jurisdictions, found that one-third of companies referenced ISSB standards in 2024, up from 16% the previous year, while about 20% said they use or plan to use ESRS. The study also found that sustainability reporting remains widespread, with 97% of companies providing some form of sustainability disclosure and 75% obtaining independent assurance over those disclosures, up from 73% in 2023. More companies are also integrating sustainability reporting into their annual reports, with the proportion rising to 76% in 2024 from 74% a year earlier.
