They are set by the Foundation’s two independent standard-setting boards, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), using a rigorous, inclusive and transparent due process. The IFRS Foundation Trustees oversee the IASB and the ISSB and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities.\nThe ISSB’s Standards provide a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures designed to meet investors’ information needs. Jurisdictions around the world-currently close to 50, representing 60% of global GDP-are in the process of adopting or using the Standards.\nThe ISSB works with the IASB to ensure that a company’s sustainability-related financial disclosures work well with its financial statements, providing investors with transparent and decision-useful information about a company’s financial position, performance and sustainability-related risks and opportunities. While the ISSB’s Standards can be applied together with the IFRS Accounting Standards, they need not be applied together.\nThe ISSB comprises professionally and geographically diverse senior experts with experience in sustainability and its reporting, gained through backgrounds such as preparers, investors, standard-setters, regulators, auditors, sustainability specialists and academics.\nThe ISSB members and staff are based in the Foundation’s offices in Beijing, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, San Francisco and Tokyo.\nFull details about the ISSB-as well as the Foundation’s structure, activities and key personnel-can be found here.\nWhat are we looking for\nThe Foundation is seeking candidates from Asia-Oceania with substantial senior experience to fill a vacancy that will arise on the ISSB in 2027.

The Standards-IFRS® Accounting Standards and IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards-are collectively referred to as IFRS® Standards.\nIFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (ISSB Standards for short) are developed by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which was created as part of the IFRS Foundation in 2021 to meet investor, company and international policymaker (including the G20, G7, IOSCO and Financial Stability Board) demand.\nISSB Standards provide a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures designed to meet investors’ information needs. Close to 50 jurisdictions around the world, representing 60% of global GDP, are in the process of adopting or using the Standards.\nThe ISSB works with the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to ensure that a company’s sustainability-related financial disclosures work well with its financial statements, providing investors with transparent and decision-useful information about a company’s financial position, performance and sustainability-related risks and opportunities.\nBoth boards follow a transparent, inclusive and rigorous due process. The IFRS Foundation Trustees oversee the ISSB and IASB and are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities.\nThe ISSB currently comprises 10 members. Members are appointed by the Trustees. The main qualifications for membership of the ISSB are professional competence and recent relevant professional experience. The Trustees select members of the ISSB, consistently with the ‘Criteria for ISSB members’ set out in the Annex to the IFRS Foundation Constitution, so that the ISSB comprises a group of people representing, within that group, the best available combination of expertise and diversity of international sustainability business and market experience. That experience may be drawn from a range of professional backgrounds, including preparers, users of sustainability information, standard-setters, auditors, academics and market and financial regulators. A broad base of skills, experience and perspectives is needed, therefore ISSB members may have other professional backgrounds that reflect a diverse range of expertise and roles that are relevant to sustainability and its reporting. The ISSB’s objective is to develop high-quality global sustainability disclosure standards that are capable of assurance, enforcement and consistent application to meet investors’ information needs. Accordingly the ISSB collectively is expected to demonstrate expert knowledge and relevant industry expertise in sustainability and corporate reporting, and share practical, relevant and up-to-date experience of them.\nMembers of the ISSB are required to commit themselves formally to acting in the public interest in all matters.\nThe ISSB members and staff are based in the Foundation’s offices in Beijing, Frankfurt, London, Montreal, San Francisco and Tokyo. The Foundation will open an ISSB office in Geneva during 2027 to enhance the ISSB’s multi-location model.\nPosition summary: Member of the ISSB\nThis is a senior and prestigious appointment, demanding not only a high degree of expertise and ethics but also a high level of stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, as well as drive and energy.\nThe ISSB is charged with developing and maintaining sustainability disclosure standards that will enable companies to provide comprehensive sustainability information for the global financial markets to meet investors’ information needs. Meetings of the ISSB will be held in public.\nThe role is full time, although the Trustees will also consider candidates wishing to serve on a part-time basis provided they can demonstrate and maintain the required level of independence.\nThe position is based in the Foundation’s office in Beijing and involves frequent international travel to engage with fellow board members and staff, as well as with a wide range of stakeholders.\nMembers of the ISSB are appointed for a term of up to five years, with eligibility for renewal for a further three years, with the possibility of renewal of
