Appendix B: Sample worksheet for IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures

Disclaimer: This sample worksheet calls out some of the key requirements of IFRS S2. It does not contain all the requirements in the standard and does not substitute reading all the ISSB Standards.

Objective Required information

Disclose information about an organisation's climate-related risks and opportunities (CRROs) that is useful to primary Information about the CRROs that could reasonably be expected to affect the organisation’s cash flows, its access to finance or cost of
users of general purpose financial reports in making decisions relating to providing resources to the organisation. capital over the short, medium or long term. For the purposes of IFRS S2, these risks and opportunities are collectively referred to as
‘CRROs that could reasonably be expected to affect the organisation’s prospects’

1 Describe CRROs that could reasonably be expected to affect the organisation's prospects, and map them to the appropriate time horizons [IFRS S2, paragraphs 10-12, and 15-21]

In preparing the anticipated financial effects of CRROs, an organisation should:
b) Use reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date without undue cost or effort
c) Use an approach that is commensurate with the skills, capabilities and resources that are available to the organisation to prepare those disclosures.

N1 When identifying CRROs that could reasonably be expected to affect the organisation’s prospects, consider: [IFRS S2, paragraph 11]

(a) investment and disposal plans including plans not contractually committed to; and

(b) planned sources of funding to implement strategy

N3 Reflect upon strategy to manage CRROs (eg, changes to revenue, expenses and costs from climate-related physical damages)

3 Disclose information for each target set or required to meet [IFRS S2, paragraphs 33-37]

IFRS S2 requires specific information about climate-related targets that goes beyond the requirements in IFRS S1.
If organisations use the sample table in Appendix A for the disclosure of targets [No. 6 of Appendix A], organisations need to add the requirements in paragraphs 33-37 of IFRS S2 to the table.

4 Disclose the organisation's risk management for CRROs [IFRS S2, paragraphs 24-26]

To avoid unnecessary duplication, if an organisation's oversight of sustainability-related risks and

opportunities (SRROs), including CRROs, is managed on an integrated basis, the organisation
should avoid duplication by providing integrated risk management disclosures in accordance with
IFRS S1 instead of separate disclosures for each SRRO. [see Appendix A]

5 Disclose the organisation's governance for CRROs [IFRS S2, paragraphs 5-7]

To avoid unnecessary duplication, if an organisation's oversight of SRROs, including CRROs, is

managed on an integrated basis, the organisation should avoid duplication by providing integrated
governance disclosures in accordance with IFRS S1 instead of separate disclosures for each
SRRO. [see Appendix A]
