The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has announced it has opened applications for the chair position and members of the UK Sustainability Disclosure Technical Advisory Committee (TAC).
The TAC will provide recommendations for endorsing the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards for use in the UK.
It added the chair of the TAC will play a “crucial role” in leading the committee’s engagement with the ISSB and shaping sustainability disclosures in the UK and globally.
Candidates for the chair role should possess “strong leadership skills, an understanding of sustainability disclosures, and the ability to collaborate with stakeholders”.
Additionally, applications are being sought for members of the TAC with an in-depth knowledge of sustainability reporting and the work of the ISSB, however applications from candidates with a thorough understanding of the UK political and regulatory environment, and a broad policy perspective are also welcome.
The FRC said both the chair and member positions offer an opportunity to influence the development of sustainability disclosures in the UK.
It confirmed eligible candidates should demonstrate “relevant experience, strong analytical skills, and a commitment to transparency and integrity in corporate reporting”.
