Sewing: ISSB in Frankfurt a major success
03 November 2021
Christian Sewing, President of the Association of German Banks, on the decision of the IFRS Foundation to base the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany:
“This decision is a major success for Frankfurt as a financial centre
. Germany is already one of the leading places when it comes to
sustainable finance. And we intend to live up to that claim – both now
and in the future. Internationally coordinated sustainability reporting
for globally active banks and businesses will be key, here. Frankfurt
with more than 200 banks, international organisations and an outstanding
scientific infrastructure, offers the ISSB an optimal environment in
which to take on this challenging task.
