To help align the United Kingdom (UK) of Great Britain and Northern Ireland with the global climate and sustainability reporting baseline of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Sustainability Disclosure Standards, the UK Government issued the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS):
- UK SRS S1: General requirements for disclosure of sustainability-related financial information
- UK SRS S2: Climate-related disclosures
From Sustainability Explorer, you can view these Standards, such as to:
- Browse and bookmark requirements to disclose sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to affect your company's cash flow, access to finance, or cost of capital.
- Align disclosure requirements with metrics that collect related values in Sustainability Program.
Tip: For assistance with UK SRS, Workiva AI can summarize or clarify disclosure requirements with its UK SRS knowledge base, and help assess and refine draft disclosures with Sustainability Disclosure Agent. To learn more, view Use Workiva AI with UK Sustainability Reporting Standards.
Note: Depending on your company's subscription, you may need to request UK SRS for Sustainability Explorer from your Workiva Customer Success Manager (CSM). Additional costs may apply.
