The EBA responds to the public consultations on sustainability-related disclosure standards launched by the International Sustainability Standards Board and the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group
The European Banking Authority (EBA) submitted today its responses to the consultations of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) on sustainability-related disclosure standards. The EBA welcomes these consultations and agrees with the need to introduce international and European standards in response to the growing demand for relevant, reliable and comparable corporate data on sustainability-related matters, and the need for a close cooperation between the ISSB and EFRAG during the finalisation of their own consultations, so as to ensure consistency. The EBA also aims at ensuring consistency between the requirements applicable to institutions under the EFRAG framework and under the Pillar 3 framework.
