The role of CFOs and finance executives in times of climate finance.

From 2026 onwards, companies' sustainability reports will follow the international standard of the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board, in Portuguese), promoting greater financial transparency and climate governance.

With climate urgency growing, CFOs have a vital role in aligning financial strategies with sustainability goals, complying with regulatory requirements and integrating climate change into long-term financial planning.

Aware of the challenging scenario, CEBDS and Accenture brought together finance executives and board members to discuss the implementation of IFRS S1 and S2 standards, which require clearer reporting on companies' climate impact, providing relevant information to investors, regulators and other stakeholders.

Corporate sustainability requires integrated financial management, with CFOs at the forefront of this transformation.
