OICCI (Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry) hosted a Masterclass on October 8, 2025, in collaboration with A. F. Ferguson & Co. (a member firm of the PwC network), aimed at building capacity and enhancing preparedness for mandatory IFRS S1 and S2 reporting. The technical training was designed to equip senior professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to implement effective sustainability reporting frameworks aligned with international best practices and disclosure standards.

The session provided a deep dive into the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) framework, which introduces IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 standards based on the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). These standards emphasize transparent reporting of sustainability-related risks and opportunities, including governance, strategy, risk management, and greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3). Delivered by Fahim ul Hasan, Partner and Sustainability Leader, and Omer Salman, Senior Manager, Sustainability & Climate Change Advisory at A.F. Ferguson & Co., the session concluded with Secretary General OICCI M Abdul Aleem and Executive Director Kashif Shafi presenting participation certificates to attendees and souvenirs to the trainers in recognition of their contributions.
