On 31st January 2022, the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) was consolidated into the IFRS Foundation to support the work of the newly established International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). While this site and its resources remain relevant for preparers looking to improve sustainability disclosure until such time as the ISSB issues its IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards on such topics, no further work or guidance will be produced or published by CDSB. For further information please visit the IFRS website.

Water Working Group

The Water Working Group unites over 60 experts on water-related issues with diverse backgrounds, from corporate and investment backgrounds to academia and NGOs. The group supports the development of the CDSB Framework application guidance on water-related disclosure.

Download the CDSB Framework Application guidance for water-related disclosures here.

The Water Guidance provided an additional layer of detail to the CDSB Framework, integrating elements from existing reporting standards on water. The guidance will be applicable globally.

Find out more on the work of the group.
