In this episode of the Stanton House Future of Finance podcast, we explore the rising importance of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting and the transformative impact it’s having on finance teams.

Our guest, Kirsty Law, CFO – Sustainability at OFI (Olam Food Ingredients), joins us to break down what finance leaders need to know about the UK’s upcoming adoption of ISSB standards and the global implications of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Topics covered include:

• What ISSB S1 and S2 standards mean for UK businesses
• Who’s affected and when: timelines for ESG compliance
• How CFOs and finance teams can lead the charge on sustainability reporting
• The data challenges and skill sets required for effective ESG disclosures
• Why integrating sustainability into financial reports matters for investors
• Lessons from OFI’s own sustainability journey

This conversation is essential listening for finance professionals preparing for a future where ESG is not just a regulatory requirement but a strategic business driver.
