Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Question

To address the question, we must evaluate each statement in turn and weigh it against what is generally known about the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board).

Option a: 'The GRI and ISSB have a memorandum of understanding to work together to develop inter-operable sustainability related standards.' This statement aligns with the idea that both organizations have sought collaboration or alignment to promote interoperability between sustainability reporting frameworks. The phrasing suggests a formal agreement or understanding to coordinate on interoperable standards, which is plausible given their overlapping aims and the push for harmonization in sustainability disclosures.

Option b: 'The GRI is developing sustainability related financial disclosures standards.' In reality, the GRI focuses on non-financial sustainability reporting frameworks and guidance for organizations to disclose environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts. The development of financial disclosures standards is more closely associated with ISSB (and IFRS-related work). Therefore, this claim about the GRI developing financial disclosures standards is inaccurate.

Option c: 'The ISSB is providing sustainability standards for all important sustainability matters.' This overstates the ISSB's mandate. The ISSB is establishing sustainability-related financial disclosures standards intended to cover material financial-relevant sustainability information. It does not claim to cover all possible sustainability matters comprehensively, which makes this statement incorrect.

Option d: 'The GRI is continuing to work on impact standards, leaving the ISSB to deal with sustainability related financial standards.' While it is true that the ISSB focuses on financial disclosures, the claim that the GRI is exclusively or continuously working on 'impact standards' and has left ISSB to handle financial standards is not an accurate characterization of their collaboration and roles. The relationship is more nuanced and not accurately described by this split.

In summary, option a is the only statement that accurately reflects a collaborative, interoperable intention between the GRI and ISSB, while options b, c, and d mischaracterize the roles or scope of each organization or imply a separation of tasks that does not reflect their actual activities.
