UK to implement IFRS sustainability standards

The government is consulting on minor amendments before the UK introduction of IFRS S1 and S2 sustainability reporting standards, to be called UK SRS, but no final implementation date as yet 

The consultation seeks views on exposure draft UK SRS S1 and UK SRS S2 (sustainability reporting standards), which are based on IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures.

The government proposes six minor amendments to the standards for application in a UK context, but it has not yet decided on mandatory application. The rules will be called SRS in the UK but as yet the financial costs of implementation have not been assessed.
