ISSB Standards Adoption and Reporting
Registration Details
$39 for SEMI Members (sign into your account with your work email to be recognized)
Companies across the semiconductor value chain must respond to a dynamic horizon as the ISSB Standards are adopted by securities regulators, standard-setters and stock exchanges around the world. At the same time, investors are asking companies to voluntarily transition from the TCFD recommendations to the ISSB Standards to meet their information needs.
To clarify what the ISSB Standards mean for the semiconductor value chain, SEMI is pleased to collaborate with the IFRS Foundation, which is the organizational seat of the ISSB. Our webinar, ISSB Standards Adoption and Reporting for the Semiconductor Value Chain, outlines the stakes for companies, demonstrates the business value of the Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2), answers audience questions, and provides a venue for information exchange. There will be a deep dive into implications for climate reporting under IFRS S2 after a high-level look at the background and workplan of the ISSB.
Our distinguished speakers from IFRS Foundation are Neil Stewart, Director of Corporate Outreach, and Jing Zhang, Head of Climate Research.
This event is part of the SEMI webinar series, “Global State of Play: Sustainability Regulations, Reporting, & Incentives.” This series offers semiconductor industry professionals the chance to interact with top-tier experts on the most pressing challenges in compliance, disclosure, and strategy for sustainable business.
Speakers

Neil Stewart is the International Sustainability Standards Board’s New York-based Director of Corporate Outreach, working with preparers, industry associations, the accounting profession and consultants to build awareness and understanding of the ISSB Standards and SASB Standards. Neil joined SASB in 2020 from Citigroup.
Jing Zhang, Head of Climate Research, IFRS Foundation
Jing Zhang is Head of Climate Research on the International Sustainability Standards Board’s technical staff. Previously he was the Global Head of Quantitative Research at Moody’s Analytics. Jing has numerous published books and research papers on financial risk, including the Risk Publications book “Climate Change: Managing the Financial Risk and Funding the Transition.” Jing has a PhD from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Worldwide, companies in the semiconductor value chain are undergoing paradigm shifts in how they report sustainability-related risks and opportunities to stakeholders in government and capital markets.
Semiconductor manufacturing and design firms, together with their business partners, face heightened pressure to report on their performance related to climate transition, human capital management, supply chain management, and a host of other environmental, social, and governance issues.
On one hand, companies face a patchwork of reporting rules conditioned on where they do business. On the other hand, a global baseline of sustainability-related disclosures ushered in by the IFRS Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is gathering momentum.
