The International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IEASBA) will hold a series of four roundtables to obtain stakeholder input to help shape the development of ethics and independence standards for sustainability reporting and assurance.
In response to demand for timely, relevant, and trustworthy sustainability information, the IESBA announced in June 2022 its commitment to take timely action to develop fit-for-purpose, globally applicable ethics and independence standards as a critical part of the infrastructure needed to support transparent sustainability reporting and assurance.
This commitment sets up the IESBA’s ethics and independence standards as the third pillar to trustworthy sustainability reporting and assurance, alongside the standards being developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).

The quality of the standards to be developed and their ability to meet the needs of the users and any providers of sustainability information will critically depend on timely contributions and input from stakeholders globally.

The roundtables will be held in person at the following times and locations:
- Friday, March 24 – Paris, France
