ISS-Corporate has released a new program to help companies comply with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) requirements. The solution integrates consulting services with software to handle IFRS S1 and S2 disclosures, focusing on how sustainability risks affect financial performance. The toolset includes carbon accounting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions aligned with the GHG Protocol. It also provides assessments for physical climate hazards and transition risks, such as carbon pricing and energy cost shifts, to help firms build more accurate transition plans.

The real test here is whether this actually standardizes data or just helps companies check boxes for IFRS S2. We need to see if these tools push for actual decarbonization or just better accounting of the status quo.

Exactly. A lot of these reporting suites just polish the presentation. If the carbon accounting doesn't force a look at the hardest to abate emissions, it is just noise.

Interested in the transition risk part. Does this software actually model grid constraints and interconnection delays, or does it just use broad policy assumptions for energy costs?

Scope 3 is always the messiest part of these disclosures. I wonder if their software actually handles the data gaps from smaller industrial suppliers or if it just relies on industry averages.
