IFRS S1 & IFRS S2: Sustainability and Climate-Related Disclosures | RHODOPE GLOBAL
Sustainability reporting is moving towards more structured, decision-useful information that connects sustainability- and climate-related risks with organisational strategy, financial performance and access to capital.
IFRS S1 & IFRS S2: Sustainability and Climate-Related Disclosures is a practical one-day professional programme focused on applying the International Sustainability Standards Board’s disclosure requirements.
Participants will examine how IFRS S1 establishes the overarching requirements for sustainability-related financial disclosures, while IFRS S2 applies the framework specifically to climate-related risks and opportunities.
The programme works through the four core disclosure areas:
Governance
Strategy
Risk management
Metrics and targets
Participants will explore physical and transition climate risks, scenario analysis, Scope 1–3 emissions, materiality, financial connectivity and the relationship between IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards and ESRS/CSRD reporting.
Practical exercises culminate in a group case study where participants build a simplified disclosure matrix, identify missing information and propose a structured gap-closing plan.
