The TAC will provide recommendations for endorsing the International Sustainability Standards Board's (ISSB) IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards for use in the UK.
The Chair of the TAC will play a crucial role in leading the committee's engagement with the ISSB and shaping sustainability disclosures in the UK and globally. Candidates for the Chair role should possess strong leadership skills, an understanding of sustainability disclosures, and the ability to collaborate with stakeholders.
Additionally, applications are being sought for members of the TAC with an in-depth knowledge of sustainability reporting and the work of the ISSB, however applications from candidates with a thorough understanding of the UK political and regulatory environment, and a broad policy perspective are also welcome.
Both the Chair and member positions offer an opportunity to influence the development of sustainability disclosures in the UK. Eligible candidates should demonstrate relevant experience, strong analytical skills, and a commitment to transparency and integrity in corporate reporting.
