17/12/2021 - EFRAG looks forward to cooperation with Emmanuel Faber, the new ISSB Chair in a co-construction spirit

​On Thursday 16 December, the Trustees of the IFRS Foundation announced the appointment of Emmanuel Faber to serve as Chair of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), effective 1 January 2022.

In its proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the European Commission identified EFRAG as its technical advisor on future EU sustainability reporting standards to be adopted by delegated acts. 

To ensure the success of its mission, EFRAG is committed to developing standards under a robust due process ensuring transparency as well as under public oversight.  For this elaboration EFRAG seeks cooperation with major contributors to sustainability reporting standard setting, at European and global level. 

Therefore, EFRAG is looking forward to a fruitful cooperation with the ISSB and its newly appointed chair Emmanuel Faber in a co-construction spirit.
