In July, the ISSB adopted new standards for sustainability-related (IFRS S1) and climate-related (IFRS S2) disclosures. These are intended to help companies communicate to investors and other stakeholders regarding their sustainability-related risks and opportunities and how the companies manage them. The climate-related disclosures are particularly important for the utilities sector since it accounts for a  substantial share (28%) of global carbon emissions. For its part, Enel Chile has been a pioneer in the adoption of an integrated sustainability strategy by rapidly moving to decarbonize its energy sources. 

IFRS will provide an overview of the new S1 and S2 standards as they apply to the utilities sector, while Enel Chile will discuss how it will incorporate the new standards and an overview of its approach to sustainability.
