The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), in cooperation with the IFRS Foundation, has accelerated its work to establish global standards for ESG reporting. The goal is to ensure transparency, prevent greenwashing, and help investors compare companies more reliably across sectors and borders. The standards are expected to be adopted widely by 2026, marking a milestone for corporate accountability.

This global trend aligns directly with GenESG’s educational mission. The project helps learners explore existing and emerging ESG frameworks, trains them to understand cross-border compliance, and equips them with the language to work in multilingual, regulatory-diverse environments. The world of sustainable finance is converging — and GenESG ensures its learners are ready for that convergence.
