Disclosure focus
This disclosure requires an entity-specific description of sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to affect the entity’s prospects. It does not require a formal impact pathway, a mandatory monetary estimate, a sustainability-theme label or a fixed value-chain tag for every matter.
This LRA educational guidance supports disclosure preparation. For the exact requirements, always refer to the official IFRS Foundation source.
