IFRS

Greenwashing refers to companies trying to gain public trust by claiming to have environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) contributions or making carbon reduction declarations, but taking little action. To prevent such behavior and to strengthen corporate focus on sustainable ESG disclosure, the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation (IFRS Foundation) has developed a globally applicable set of sustainability disclosure standards with an accounting foundation—the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. In this article, we will start by introducing the IFRS Foundation, and then delve into the main content of the IFRS S1 as well as how Taiwan aligns with international sustainability disclosure standards.
