IFRS S1 Courses

Two courses, almost ready

Developed by GCX's sustainability experts, these two online courses translate IFRS S1 into practical, actionable learning. The first explains what the standard asks for; the second turns it into steps your organisation can start on. Take them in order or on their own. Enrolment isn't open yet — register your interest and we'll let you know the moment it is.

Course 1 · Start here · coming soon

Navigating IFRS S1 Reporting Requirements

Understand what IFRS S1 asks your organisation to disclose, and why it matters to investors and lenders. Ideal for sustainability managers, finance and reporting teams, company secretaries and board members meeting the standard for the first time.

  • Where IFRS S1 and S2 fit within the IFRS Foundation and the ISSB
  • How the value chain, dependencies and impacts create risks and opportunities
  • What makes sustainability information useful for decisions
  • Governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets
  • Worked through a case study: ConnectMalawi, a fictional MSE-listed telecoms company

  • Applying the standard in proportion to your size and maturity
  • Board and management oversight, information flows, charters and policies
  • Financial, impact, double and dynamic materiality
  • A four-step process from value chain to risks and opportunities
