Due Process Oversight Committee (DPOC) approves publication of ISSB Exposure Drafts

In accordance with its Due Process Handbook, The ISSB is permitted to publish exposure drafts (EDs) prior to having a fully quorate board if the Due Process Oversight Committee (DPOC) along with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the ISSB approve.

The DPOC met on 21 March 2022 and granted this approval, meaning the ISSB now has permission to issue EDs for IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards on general presentation and disclosure and climate. It is expected that the ISSB will be quorate in order to deliberate on feedback received to the EDs in early Q3 2022. The EDs are expected to be published by the end of March 2022.
