UKEB has established the Standard-Setters (NSS) Sustainability Forum, while also revealing the inaugural members. 

The purpose of the NSS Sustainability Forum is to develop an understanding of connectivity issues between IFRS Accounting Standards and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards, consider possible solutions that would address stakeholder needs for connectivity between information presented in companies’ sustainability reports and financial reports, and to share them with the ISSB and IASB as they develop high quality international standards. 

Membership is limited to the technical directors, or equivalent, of the participating NSS, with a particular interest in, or responsibility for, the overlap between IFRS Accounting Standards and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards.

NSS Sustainability Forum Chair

Seema Jamil-O’Neill is the Technical Director of the UK Endorsement Board. Between January 2017 to April 2020, Seema worked at the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy as the Head of Accounting and Reporting Policy, where she led the team responsible for maintaining the integrity of UK’s Accounting and Reporting Framework as the UK exited the EU.
