International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Conference
Audience: All
Thorsten Henkel represented the IAA at the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Conference in Frankfurt. His key takeaways:
- Actuaries are already involved in sustainability reporting — and more broadly in climate-related risk
- Our expertise in scenario analysis and translating uncertainty into financial impacts is directly relevant
- The IAA has built a strong foundation, with standards and educational resources to support members in this space.
- Collaboration is key — there's clear appetite to work more closely with the ISSB and regulators
