The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the IFRS Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which commits the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) to coordinate their work programmes and standard-setting activities.
The memorandum of understanding is expected to increase the compatibility and interconnectedness of investor-focused baseline sustainability information. The global baseline concept has been welcomed by the G20 Leaders, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and others.
