On 25 June 2025 the Department for Business and Trade published exposure drafts of the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) S1 and S2.
These draft standards are based on the inaugural two standards published by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) in June 2023, which are to be referred to as the ISSB Standards in the UK:
- IFRS S1: General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information; and
- IFRS S2: Climate-related Disclosures.
The consultation proposes 6 minor amendments to the standards, to reflect their use in a UK context, while retaining the advantages of international comparability that the ISSB Standards are intended to achieve.
