Software · a buyer’s guide to ISSB tools
ISSB software helps a company prepare disclosures under IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, the International Sustainability Standards Board’s standards, and in the UK under their endorsed versions, UK SRS S1 and S2.
35 vendors in this site’s registry make an ISSB claim on their own pages; this page lists them in their own words and shows how to shortlist, test and buy.
How a tool should map disclosures and tags is on ISSB reporting software.
IFRS or UK SRS
A UK group with listings or subsidiaries abroad may report against both, so the tool has to hold one dataset and show two views.
The government’s response explains why the UK versions differ; the differences are small but they change the output.
The mapping work is described on ISSB reporting software; this page is about the purchase.

35 vendors, alphabetically. Each line is the vendor’s own description, linked to the page it is on.
A vendor missing from this list may still do the work: put the question to it in writing.
From the list to three
Tick UK SRS in the tool beside this text if you are a UK listed company: 6 vendors claim both on their own pages.
Tick Scope 3 if your value chain is large, because Scope 3 is where S2 reporting takes most of the effort.
Then cut by the part of S1 that is not climate: a tool built only for carbon may not hold wider sustainability-related risks.
Six well-known platforms are set side by side on IFRS and UK SRS software compared.
Your long list · from vendors’ own pages, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026
Start: vendors whose own pages mention ISSB (35). Tick what else the same tool must serve.
35 of 35 vendors make every claim you ticked.
Alphabetical; the order ranks nothing. A claim is what a vendor says, not a test result.
Nothing you tick is stored or sent.
One group, start to finish
Group D is an illustration: a UK listed group with a subsidiary whose own market expects IFRS S2.
It ticks ISSB, UK SRS and Scope 3 in the long-list tool, then asks three vendors to produce both views from the same records.
The one that shows where the UK version differs, without a second dataset, goes forward.

Ask the vendor to name the edition of IFRS S2 it implements before anything else.
Then ask for both the IFRS and the UK SRS view from your own data.
The questions test outputs; they score no one, and passing them is not an approval.

Assurance
Vendors claiming ISSB
35In this site’s registryAlso claim UK SRS

NoA statement about it isPS26/19 asks a listed company to state whether it obtained third-party assurance and, if so, from whom, to what level and under which standard; it does not require assurance.
Assurance over sustainability information can be given under ISSA 5000 or, for emissions, ISAE 3410, and both need evidence a practitioner can follow.
The UK assurance picture is on sustainability assurance.

|---|---|
| 35 vendors claim ISSB on their own pages | Start from their own words, linked here. |
| 6 also claim UK SRS | Tick UK SRS in the long-list tool if you are listed in the UK. |
| UK SRS was published on 25 February 2026 | Ask which UK differences the tool handles. |
| Assurance is not required by PS26/19 | But the statement about it is, so keep the evidence. |
| The ISSB taxonomy adds no requirements | Pay for tagging only if your filing route needs it. |

Frequently asked
Software that helps a company prepare sustainability disclosures under the International Sustainability Standards Board’s standards: IFRS S1 for sustainability-related financial information in general and IFRS S2 for climate.
In the UK the endorsed versions are UK SRS S1 and S2.
In this site’s registry, 35 vendors make an ISSB or IFRS S2 claim on their own pages, read 11 October 2026 and 30 September–1 October 2026; 6 also make a UK SRS claim.
They are listed here alphabetically, in their own words.
This site has tested no product and names no best.
Choose the tool that produces both the IFRS and the UK SRS view from one dataset, names the edition of IFRS S2 it implements, and leaves evidence an assurer can use.
Close, not identical.
UK SRS S1 and S2 are the UK’s endorsed versions of IFRS S1 and S2, published on 25 February 2026 with UK amendments; a UK listed company reports against UK SRS on a comply-or-explain basis under FCA PS26/19.
No company has to use any software.
Listed companies in UKLR 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22 report against UK SRS on a comply-or-explain basis for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027; for everyone else, UK SRS is voluntary.
Only if a filing regime asks for it.
The ISSB’s taxonomy is for tagging disclosures and adds no disclosure requirements of its own; check whether your filing route needs tags before paying for them.
Most vendors on the list quote rather than publish.
Prices usually rise with entities, modules such as scenario analysis and value-chain emissions, and the number of frameworks covered.
Some vendors say so; check by asking for the jurisdictions the tool supports and the version of each, in writing.
New ISSB standards apply in the UK only once endorsed.
PS26/19 asks a listed company to say whether third-party assurance was obtained and, if so, from whom and to what level; it does not require assurance.
A tool that leaves a clean evidence trail makes either answer easier.
You do, with the vendor as processor under a written UK GDPR contract.
Read the exit terms before you sign.
There is no official figure.
The time goes on identifying sustainability-related risks and opportunities under S1, collecting Scope 3, and agreeing what will be explained rather than disclosed in the first year.
